Anglo-Saxon pendant in Trewhiddle style.
Here you can buy a large pendant that was made after an Anglo-Saxon disc brrooch from the early Middle Ages.
The historical model for this early medieval pendant was an Anglo-Saxon disc brooch that belongs to a group of early medieval brooches of the
9th century, which are characterized by their openwork, cross-shaped form in the Trewhiddle style and are called the Elmsett type.
The original is now in the possession of the
British Museum.
Link to the historical model...
The Anglo-Saxon pendant measures
5 cm in diameter and thus corresponds to the dimensions of the original brooch.
There is a
sturdy eyelet on the back, which is also suitable for stronger leather straps or chains.
You can buy that Anglo-Saxon disc brooch of high-quality
bronze and in genuine
silver-plated, with the applied bosses in the contrasting material.
Complementing this brooch, we also adore an identically designed pendant.
This openwork disc brooch was once made of silver and
divided by two crosses with concave arms. This creates an eight-armed star-shaped motif that is decorated with tendril and foliage ornaments inlaid with niello.
The spaces between the arms are filled with openwork
stylized creatures in the late Anglo-Saxon "trewhiddle" style, their heads turned downwards and facing the centre of the brooch.
This Anglo-Saxon disc brooch stylistically belongs to the
Elmsett type, There are currently 15 known early medieval disc brooches of this type, 12 of which are made of silver and 3 of a gilded copper alloy..
