Saxon Gold Jewel Backing Disc
6th-8th century A.D.Sold for (Inc. bp): £98
Thin foil panel, possibly used as the backing to mount a jewel. 1.16 grams, 20 mm
From an old English collection. Acquired from Spink, York, circa 1986. Ian Wilkinson collection, Nottinghamshire, UK.
The foil is unlikely to have been used as a backing for a garnet cloison or cabochon since it is almost flat, but it may have been intended for treatment with the waffle-pattern texture normally used to mount such jewels.
