EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning Jewelled disc brooch from the Anglo-Saxon period, dating back to 400-1066. The intricate craftsmanship and exquisite materials used in its creation are truly awe-inspiring. Made of garnet, gold, niello, silver, gilded, and nielloed elements, this brooch is a testament to the skill and artistry of its creators. The circular shape of the brooch symbolizes eternity and perfection while the vibrant red garnets add a touch of regality. Its design reflects the patterns commonly found during the Middle Ages, with an English influence that speaks to its origin in Kent. Displayed at the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford, UK, this piece represents a significant part of British history. It serves as a reminder of the rich cultural heritage that exists within England and Europe as a whole. The gilded details on this brooch give it a golden hue that catches one's eye from afar. The meticulous attention to detail is evident in every aspect of its construction - from the delicate placement of each jewel to the precise application of niello. As we admire this remarkable work of art captured by David Gowers' lens, we are transported back in time to an era where jewelry was not only worn for adornment but also held symbolic meaning. This photograph allows us to appreciate both its historical significance and aesthetic beauty simultaneously
