Context (CMS Context)
'Note with this idno written on it reads: "A pair found by Wilkinson Barrington A Gr.11". A different hand has added in pencil: "Says Haslingfield on back?". Old label reads: 'Foster bequest'. Further note with objects reads: "Saucer brooch with running scroll ornament, this is a favorite pattern and may have derived from Roman models in England. The construction of the brooch is constant and extremely simple: a stout bronze plate is dished, and ornamented in the flat central space in the chip carving (keilschnitt) style, the cast design being finished with the graver, and the whole of the interior gilt. Geometrical (Classical) patterns are mostly early Anglo Saxon, but animal ornament is from about 550-650 AD, the late specimens being large." S-J Harknett 4/1/2001'
