In 1903 an Anglo-Saxon cemetery was discovered along Stamford Road in Kettering. To the south of the site, in 1904, a brooch fragment was found which is what this model is based on. The original does not appear to have survived, so evidence of its existence is limited to a drawing in an old book. I wanted to create a realistic looking version of it to show the potential that it still has to tell a story.
I have a very short animation of the transition from the drawing to the realistic model on my Artstation portfolio.
