More like the work of fairies than of human beings’
In the early Middle Ages, Irish goldsmiths achieved a rare mastery of gold working techniques. The ‘Tara’ brooch, dated to c. 700 AD, shows many characteristics of this late Celtic style of metalwork. This paper discusses the manufacture of its filigree, drawing on the writer’s microscopic study and hitherto unpublished scientific investigations carried out in the British Museum in 1962-1963
An Insular Brooch-Fragment from Norway
A silver-gilt ornament of Insular origin from a Viking age burial in Norway is here identified for the first time as the pin-head of a ring brooch of pseudo-penannular form. The decoration and typology of the pin-head are discussed in relation to Insular metalwork, and its iconography is considered in the context of Early Christian art. The pin-head and an associated ringed pin are dated to the eighth or ninth century
