Incomplete cast copper alloy disc brooch dating to the Early Medieval period. The object is circular in plan and flat. On the reverse of the object are the remains of the lug to hold the hinge for the pin and the remains of the catchplate. The front of the object is decorated with ring and dot motifs, 12 of which decorate the outside of the front, and are spaced irregularly. There is a ring and dot in the centre, surrounded by two concentric rings. The centre of the central dot is loose and can be removed. Between the central ring and dot and the outer motifs are six more well defined ring and dot motifs and one which is very faintly punched. These are irregularly spaced. Dividing this and the outer circle of motifs are two concentric ridges. Seven of the outer ring and dots have been punched over the outer ridge while the remaining five are closer to the edge of the object. The presence of the faintly punched motif and the irregularly spaced motifs suggests that the piece may have remained unfinished. The object has a light brownish green patina and is corroded in places. This brooch dates from the 5th or 6th century; probably circa 450-550 AD.<\/p>\n\n
MacGregor and Bolick illustrate disc brooches with a wide range of ring and dot decoration. They suggest the decoration was made by scribing or stamping after casting and thus each brooch or pair of brooches could have unique decoration (1993, p57).<\/p>","findofnote":null,"secwfstage":"4","updated":"2012-04-20 15:01:00","county":"WREXHAM","knownas":"Gresford","fourFigure":"SJ3754","lat":"53.082257","lon":"-2.933124","easting":"337593","northing":"354300","i":"377283","filename":"LVPL-6BF678b.jpg"},{"id":"497970","old_findID":"LVPL-6BD0F6","objecttype":"BEAD","broadperiod":"MEDIEVAL","dateFrom":"1100","dateTo":"1500","created":"2012-04-12 12:31:29","description":"\n

On the reverse of the head are two heavily abraded perforated lugs through which an iron axis bar (now lost) would have passed. The pin is lost. The bow of the brooch is broken above the mid point; it is relatively thick and robust; the bow is broadly D shaped in cross section with the flat part of the bow being the exterior edge and the curved part the interior. The brooch is decorated with a number of both cast and applied decoration. The applied decoration is present on the upper bow; here, there is a rectangular panel which has been split vertically into three even columns. Within each of these columns are smaller squares \/ rectangles of coloured glass or enamel; these seem to alternate forming a chequer board pattern between an orange red enamel (which is well preserved) and a darker glass which is poorly preserved, possibly being blue or green in colour. The cast decoration consists of relatively simple geometric patterns. This is situated at the junction of the head and upper bow.
