Description: | Possible Anglo Saxon brooch fragment. Semi-circular copper alloy plate; broken across the straight edge. Possibly an expanded projection from the base or sides of the foot of an Early Medieval Anglo-Saxon square-headed or cruciform brooch, or the head of a small-long brooch. Mottled light/mid/dark green surface (corrosion products) with some original surface exposed - on one side the original surface appears to have been tinned/silvered, although this is not entirely clear. Length 11.30mm, width 23.7mm, thickness 1.94 mm, weight 1.48g.
