Description: | Enamelled copper alloy brooch fragment. A flat lozenge with the stubs of two hinge lugs on the reverse; edges abraded. The enamelled area is divided into four triangles and a central square (with slightly curved sides) each containing a small circle - the central one contains orange enamel, the others discoloured; each triangle also contains traces of orange. The enamelled area is bounded by a broader copper-alloy band, with traces of a groove or lower area beyond. Surviving length 22mm, width 18mm, plate is 2.2mm thick.It is unclear what the complete brooch form was, but there must have been at least a foot projection with the catchplate on it. There are no close comparisons in Hattatt. An equal-ended type (with the hinge on a zoomorphic terminal) from HEN 001 (Suffolk) has a similar lozenge design.
