Description: | Incomplete annular brooch with flat frame which varies in width. One break is across a circular pin hole, and here the frame is 8.5 mm wide. Shortly before this break the frame is at its maximum of 9.5 mm wide. At the other break, however, it is only 5.5 mm wide. Both faces have lost much of their surface through metal stress and corrosion, but it can be seen that one face is decorated with at least two groups of transverse lines, one around the pin hole and the other opposite at the pin rest. The other face has a fairly high polish, probably from rubbing against clothes, but no decoration. There is a trace of iron corrosion around the pin hole. The brooch is now a little bent; its diameter is 48 mm. Early Anglo-Saxon, late fifth or sixth century.
