EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite Silver disc brooch of AEdwen, an Anglo-Scandinavian artifact dating back to the first half of the 11th century. Adorned with intricate Viking Ringerike style decorations, this brooch is a testament to the rich cultural exchange between these two ancient civilizations. The significance of this brooch goes beyond its aesthetic appeal. It is believed that AEdwen may have buried it during a time of danger, as it was discovered in a hoard in Sutton, Isle of Ely, Cambridgeshire in 1694. This adds an air of mystery and intrigue to this already remarkable piece. As we delve into its symbolism, we are drawn to the image of a reptile-like creature intricately carved onto the surface - perhaps representing protection or warding off evil spirits. In medieval times, jewelry often served as more than just adornment; it carried deeper meanings and concepts. Now housed within the prestigious British Museum's collection, this silver brooch stands as a tangible link to our medieval past. Its preservation allows us to appreciate not only its beauty but also gain insights into historical dress and craftsmanship from that era. Let us marvel at how such an object has survived through centuries and imagine the stories it could tell if given voice – tales filled with curses lifted and lives protected by its presence.
