Description
Pewter disc brooch decorated with contorted dragon-beast, gripping a foot with its mouth. The ribbon-like body with hatchmarked decoration belongs to the Viking 'Jellinge' art style of the 9-10th centuries. Pewter disc brooches were popular in England in the 10th century. This use of Scandinavian decoration on an English ornament demonstrates how well the Viking settlers had integrated into Anglo Saxon society.
