RecordBrooch< 1 of 1 > Back From Norrie's Law, near Largo, Fife
BroochThis silver penannular brooch is one of two found in a large hoard of silver jewellery and hacksilver, buried between 600 and 700 at Norrie's Law near Largo in Fife. It is a Pictish brooch, though with some unusual features. Brooches of this nature are often ornamented on the expanded terminals and the hoop, but this one is plain. The use of twisted silver for the hoops is unique on Pictish penannular brooches. It is missing the brooch pin. A variety of Pictish penannular brooches have been found. They often have a characteristic panel on the hoop and frequently they have lobed terminals. The pins, when they survive, are quite distinctive. Silver and bronze examples are known.
