| Description |
English: A gilded silver Kentish Disc brooch of Avent's Class 2.1. The brooch is small with a narrow border of impressed triangles placed apex to base to form a pattern of zig-zag impressions which are inlaid with niello. Lying inside and against the border is a finely beaded gilt frame and within this the field is divided into gilded zones by three sub-rectangular cells lying against a circular central cell. The three cells are filled with plate garnets set over waffle patterned gold foil, the central cell is empty. Each of the three gilded fields is entirely filled with a single, highly stylised Style I zoomorph consisting of a head and back leg only. The back of the brooch is plain with the catchplate and broken pin fastening still soldered in position. |
