Légende

The Strickland Brooch, Anglo-Saxon, mid-9th century. Plain gold panels with a pattern of dog-like animals with collars, deeply carved to form an openwork effect. Black niello inlay and blue glass eyes make the decoration stand out. The 'Trewhiddle' style is typical of fine Anglo-Saxon metalwork of the ninth century. The brooch, which could also be worn as a pendant, is named after the Strickland family of Yorkshire, and may have belonged to Sir William Strickland, a keen collector of antiquities in the nineteenth century. Currently in the British Museum.
