Title
Late Saxon Disc openwork zoomorphic brooch (reverse)
Description
English: Late Saxon copper alloy disc brooch, convex/concave with openwork zoomorphic decoration of an interlaced convoluted dragon with gripping claws and elongated tongue, almost identical to an example from Attleborough (HER 36681), with stumps of probable integral pin lug and catch-plate at edge on reverse between line of three perforations, two of which may have contained rivets, and one of which retains fragment of copper alloy rivet, base-plate missing, diameter 32mm. Cf. a brooch from a 10th-century context in Dublin illustrated in Graham-Campbell Viking Artefacts no.200.

This brooch has been identified as a Scandinavian brooch type matching Jansson Type I A1 (Jansson 1984b) by Jane Kershaw.
