Title |
Early-medieval Jellinge-style brooch with body parts annotated |
||
Description |
English: Bronze openwork domed disc brooch, decorated in a fusion of Borre and Jellinge style. The decoration shows a beast with a thin body weaving under and over itself to form a triangular shape, and with the hind foot gripping the foreleg. On the back of the object are the lug and catchplate but the pin is missing. Diameter: 32.25mm, thickness: 1.68mm, weight 7.17g.
Jane Kershaw has identified this as a Scandinavian object, a Jellinge-style disc brooch of Jansson's Type I A1 (Jansson in Arrwidsson 1984). These are decorated with a single profile Jellinge-style animal with a double-contoured circular body, a looping tail, and an extended ear lappet. Graham-Campbell has published other English examples of this type of brooch while considering them to be Scandinavian imports (1985) and Kershaw has recently discussed the increasing number of finds from England in the context of the Scandinavian material (Kershaw 2009). There are two main forms of this type of disc brooch, one of composite construction with a separate backing plate (e.g. SWYOR-114BB0, found in Lincolnshire, and NCL-7E9EE5, found in North Yorkshire) and a one-piece form. This example appears to be of one-piece construction, as it has the lug and catchplate on the reverse. At the time Graham-Campbell wrote (1985) there were five of this type known, two from Birka (Sweden) and three from Denmark; he dated them to the first half of the tenth century on the basis of their fusion of Borre and Jellinge style. |
