Description: | Copper alloy enamelled disc brooch. Missing pin, spring, part of one lug; damaged catchplate; missing most enamel. The spring was housed between two pierced lugs (6mm apart) in a slightly sunken area defined by the lugs and by slight ribs joining the ends of the lugs; the rest of the back is flat. The front has a series of concentric rings. The centre is a 10mm diam recessed area which would have held a setting (or enamel), with a 2mm wide border. The middle ring contains twenty bronze dots and all trace of background enamel is missing. The outer ring has a scalloped outer edge and patches of blue enamel survive. Diameter 32mm. As Hattatt no. 1564 (described as Hull 257A), and very similar to examples from Barham, Suffolk and from Scole (Norfolk, 1990's excavation, no.2136).
