Description: | A complete copper-alloy brooch. This brooch is circular in shape, measuring 22mm in diameter. It has a very worn circumferential border of incised rocker-arm decoration. There are then seven evenly spaced circular indentations, each measuring 3mm in diameter. In the centre of this brooch there is a hollow cylindrical copper-alloy projection, measuring 6mm in diameter and 4mm in height. It contains a white powdery material and a dull blue setting, which appears to be either glass or enamel. The back face of this brooch is flat and is a complete pin loop and parallel catch plate in situ. No published parallel could be found for this brooch, although an almost identical brooch, in slightly worse condition, has been discovered near Mellis, Suffolk. Their style (with enamel and a transverse pin lug) suggests that they are probably middle to late early medieval in date.
