Circular gold sheet enriched with filigree ornament, granulation and inlaid gems. The sheet is circular but is now bent back on itself along one side. The upper surface is decorated with a central circular setting made from an upright strip of gold surrounded by a collar of gold twisted wire. The setting contains a large dark red cabochon, possibly garnet or glass, with a conchoidal fracture to one side. Evenly spaced around the central setting are two small rods (2-3mm high), each wrapped 3-4 times in filigree wire; empty rivet holes suggest two similar rods have been lost. Around th…

Setting from an Anglo-Saxon composite disc brooch. The setting appears to consist of a dome of white material, with a band of gold ropework running around its diameter. Four strips of gold ropework run from this band up towards the centre of the dome, which has a circular setting of similar ropework, which may have formed a setting for a gem stone (now missing). This object has been identified from a photograph only, but clearly represents a central setting of Avent's Class 4 (Avent 1975). Similar central settings occur on composite disc brooches from Milton, Monkton, Sarre and Favers…

Gold disc, originally flat, and with an empty rectangular collared setting at its centre, surrounded by four small subsidiary collared settings, each of which contains a round semi-opaque greyish glass cabochon, perhaps intended to imitate pearls. Each collared setting is encircled with beaded wire, as is the outer edge of the disc. From the corners of the central setting, four radiating strips of flattened beaded wire, set edge-on, divide the disc into four segments; within each segment, the glass cabochons are flanked by stylized foliate plant sprays executed in the same edge-on bea…

Gold setting from the centre of a plated disc brooch or composite brooch. The setting, which is heavily worn and damaged, consists of a crumpled set of cell walls, within a circular frame. The frame is encircled by a collar made up of two strands of beaded filigree wire flanking a flattened Z-twisted beaded filigree rope. The central field, now empty of its settings, contains the remains of a single cruciform cell with short dividing walls radiating from it to the circular retaining wall. Discussion: Although the setting is badly damaged, the elements of its design can be reconst…
