Description: | Anglo-Saxon cast copper alloy disc brooch, measuring 28mm in diameter and is 7mm thick. The brooch is comprised of four decorative zones. There is a large ring and dot motif in the central design, and a small hole directly in the centre of the brooch. The next zone has small ring and dot punches arranged in a circle. This is bound by a zone filled with 5 concentric rings. The outer zone is decorated in the same fashion as the second zone, with punched rin and dot motifs. The surface of the brooch is in relatively good condition except for a worn rim and a crack running from the hole in the centre of the brooch to the outer edge. The pin and hinge are missing from the reverse of the brooch, but the catchplate is still intact. The brooch has a dull green-black patina with some lighter patches of green corrosion. Disc brooches are dated to the early Anglo-Saxon period, circa 450AD to 550AD.
