Description: | Small flat copper-alloy disc brooch with loose interlace design. In the centre is a raised circle with sunken centre, within a raised lozenge with incurved sides. A small raised triangle fills the space in each point of the lozenge, and each point is then extended into a double-strand ribbon which is loosely knotted on itself. There is a raised border around the rim. On the reverse are two pierced D-shaped lugs, one forming a transverse pin lug and the other cut through to make a catchplate. The pin lug retains the remains of the loop of an iron pin. Now rather worn, the brooch has a mid green patina which in some patches has been rubbed down to a reddish brown colour. 29 mm in diameter. This is a 10th-century English variant of a Scandinavian brooch type.
