Abstract:

Summary.

The brooch was found in 2003 near Bletchingdon, Oxfordshire. ¹ Its gilt Style II animal ornament and garnet setting indicate that it is a high status dress-fastener, datable to the period AD 575-610. Analysis of its form and ornament suggests that it was a local experiment in the application of a new animal style.
