Record ID: SUR-65C833
Object type: BROOCH
Broad period: EARLY MEDIEVAL
County: Norfolk
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A copper alloy late early-medieval Anglo-Scandinavian disc brooch decorated in the Borre style (late 9th century to c950AD) with very worn interlacing tendrils. On the back are the remains of the pin lug and catchplate; the pin lug is set transverse to the pin and parallel to the edge of the brooch, and the catchplate is set parallel to the pin and perpendicular to the edge of the brooch. The pin is missing.
Although the diameter was originally recorded as 18.55mm, scaling from the photograph seems to indicate a more conventional 28mm.
