Description
Circular brooch with animal Jellinge decoration. Waterman 1959 says '[The brooch] is of silver [sic], ornamented with an animal in the Anglo-Scandinavian Jellinge-style of the tenth century, set within a double border of pellets and enclosed by a cable moulding. Whilst this object bears clear imprint of a Scandinavian art-style, the beaded border is perhaps a borrowing from circular brooches of the late Saxon period in England.
