Title
Anglo Saxon disc brooch
Description
English: A late Saxon, cast, copper-alloy disc brooch with backward-looking beast within a border of 28 pellets (this is the most frequently recorded number of pellets on a brooch of this type). The beast has an upturned tail and open jaws. It has no mane as many other brooches of this type do. There is a ring-and-dot eye, a single ring-and-dot on the beast's breast and one on it's haunches. The beast has four legs, with two or three toes on each which blend into the border pellets. On the reverse are the integrally-moulded pin-lug and catch-plate. The pin-lug is positioned directly behind the beast's breast and is heavily encrusted in iron corrosion, probably the remains of an iron pin. The catch-plate is intact and curls upwards with the open side facing up.
