Description: | Incomplete annular brooch with broad flat frame. One face is corroded, with a strip of mineral-preserved textile (probably a decorative border from a garment) obscuring the surface; a drilled dot can just be seen close to each break. There is a line of iron corrosion across the frame which probably results from the end of the pin resting there; any pin constriction or hole is missing. The other face has a very high polish, perhaps from wear against an undergarment. There are some folds in the metal on this face resulting from slapdash manufacture, so the polish ought not to be deliberate. This brooch, with its textile and pin remains, must be from an early Anglo-Saxon woman's grave of the later fifth or sixth century.
