An incomplete Early-Medieval (Anglo-Saxon) copper-alloy disc brooch (c. 400-c. 600). Part of the flat circular plate, part of the catch-plate, the pin and pin lug are missing.<\/p>\n\n
This brooch is corroded, worn at the front and appears to be undecorated. The rear face has an almost complete catch-plate and a raised rib.<\/p>\n\n
This brooch is drab green with patches of a matt green patina and traces of a white metal coating (probably tinning) at the front. There is iron staining at the rear. There is no trace of melting or burning.<\/p>\n\n
Diameter: 32.83mm; thickness of plate: 2.29mm; overall thickness: 10.34mm. Weight: 6.33g.<\/p>\n\n
MacGregor and Bolick comment that: \"Almost all the decoration found on these brooches is inscribed or stamped on the surface after casting; the only exceptions may be the broad concentric grooves found on a few brooches. Incised concentric circles and ring-and-dot motifs account for most of the patterns encountered, frequently complemented by concentric patterns of smaller punch marks - annulets, crescents (usually produced with an annulet stamp held at an angle), triangles, and V- or S-stamps. A central dot forms a common feature, no doubt representing the axis around which a scriber has been rotated; in some instances the dot is markedly deep and often the brooch is completely perforated at the centre. Not infrequently the periphery of the brooch is notched. Tinning is common on these brooches (especially the more highly-decorated examples), but gilding is not encountered, adding to the impression that they occupy a position complementary to that of the saucer and applied brooches of the more affluent sections of Saxon society...There are no obvious Continental prototypes for these brooches, which seem to have been an insular Anglo-Saxon development. As a whole the type tends to occur south of a line from the Severn to the Wash. Within this region the upper Thames Valley is particularly productive and may have formed a major production centre. The date range spans the fifth and sixth centuries (most of them occupying the median hundred years or so), with little evidence for formal development within that period\" (MacGregor & Bolick: 1993, 57).<\/p>", "notes": null, "reuse": null, "reusePeriodID": null, "created": "2014-02-16 14:24:52", "updated": "2018-10-10 13:58:09", "secwfstage": "4", "findofnote": null, "objecttypecert": "1", "datefound1": "2013-08-12", "datefound2": null, "inscription": null, "museumAccession": null, "subsequentAction": "1", "objectCertainty": "Certain", "dateFromCertainty": "1", "dateToCertainty": "1", "dateFoundFromCertainty": null, "dateFoundToCertainty": null, "subPeriodFrom": "1", "subPeriodTo": "1", "objdate1period": "47", "objdate2period": "47", "secuid": "PAS5300CA34001445", "material1": "7", "material2": null, "manmethod": null, "decmethod": null, "decstyle": null, "complete": "2", "surface": null, "manufactureID": null, "culture": "1", "smrRef": null, "hoardcontainer": null, "institution": "IOW", "reason": null, "primaryMaterial": "Copper alloy", "primaryBMmaterial": "10627", "secondaryMaterial": null, "secondaryBMmaterial": null, "decoration": null, "style": null, "manufacture": null, "surfaceTreatment": null, "completeness": "Incomplete", "preservation": "Corroded", "periodFrom": "EARLY MEDIEVAL", "seneschalPeriodFrom": "EM", "bmPeriodFrom": "x41022", "periodoPeriodFrom": "p0gjgrshhcw", "periodTo": "EARLY MEDIEVAL", "seneschalPeriodTo": "EM", "bmPeriodTo": "x41022", "periodoPeriodTo": "p0gjgrshhcw", "reusePeriod": null, "ascribedCulture": "Anglo-Saxon style", "culturePeriodo": "p08m57hqxg6", "cultureBM": "x41012", "discmethod": "Metal detector", "fromCirca": "Circa", "toCirca": "Circa", "findSpotID": "580433", "countyID": "25469", "parishID": "43545", "districtID": "25469", "regionID": "41421", "fourFigure": "Restricted Access", "map25k": "SZ4686", "map10k": "SZ46NE", "knownas": "Isle of Wight", "woeid": "26350645", "gridlen": "10", "geonamesID": null, "accuracy": "1", "what3words": null, "source": "Generated from computer mapping software", "coinID": null, "obverseDescription": null, "obverseInscription": null, "reverseDescription": null, "reverseInscription": null, "cciNumber": null, "denominationID": null, "degreeOfWear": null, "allenType": null, "vaType": null, "mackType": null, "abcType": null, "bmcType": null, "reeceID": null, "dieAxis": null, "moneyer": null, "revtypeID": null, "categoryID": null, "typeID": null, "tribeID": null, "statusID": null, "rulerQualifier": null, "denominationQualifier": null, "mintQualifier": null, "dieAxisCertainty": null, "initialMark": null, "reverseMintMark": null, "statusQualifier": null, "ruler1": null, "ruler2": null, "mintID": null, "rrcID": null, "ricID": null, "tribe": null, "ironAgeRegion": null, "ironAgeArea": null, "denomination": null, "nomismaDenomination": null, "dbpediaDenomination": null, "bmDenomination": null, "primaryRuler": null, "viaf": null, "rulerDbpedia": null, "nomismaRulerID": null, "secondaryRuler": null, "periodName": null, "dateRange": null, "mintName": null, "nomismaMintID": null, "pleiadesID": null, "mintGeonamesID": null, "mintWoeid": null, "mintOsID": null, "mintGettyID": null, "mintWoeID": null, "mintDbPediaID": null, "mintWhat3Words": null, "mintBritMuseumID": null, "wear": null, "nomismaWear": null, "dieAxisName": null, "category": null, "type": null, "moneyerID": null, "nomismaMoneyer": null, "emperorID": null, "romanMintID": null, "reverseType": null, "status": null, "jettonClass": null, "jettonType": null, "jettonGroup": null, "thumbnail": "456768", "filename": "IOW2014-2-128.JPG", "filesize": "2", "imageLabel": "Early-Medieval (Anglo-Saxon) Disc Brooch", "imageCopyrightHolder": "The Portable Antiquities Scheme", "imageLicense": "5", "imagedir": "images\/fbasford\/", "region": "South East", "rallyID": null, "rallyName": null, "rallyDateFrom": null, "rallyDateTo": null, "landuse": "Operations to a depth greater than 0.25m", "landvalue": "Cultivated land", "regionType": "European Region", "countyType": "Unitary Authority", "county": "Isle of Wight", "districtType": "Unitary Authority", "district": "Isle of Wight", "parishType": "Civil Parish", "centreLat": "50.6913", "centreLon": "-1.31663", "parish": "Restricted Access", "subsequentActionTerm": "Returned to finder", "bmThesObject": null, "seneschalObject": "96665" } ] }
