Description: | A copper-alloy disc brooch with Borre-style decoration, measuring 28.14mm in diameter this brooch is decorated with a relief pattern with a raised central lozenge with a sunken circle in the middle. The corners of the lozenge are expanded to form double stranded interlace in the form of loose knots, each double strand ending with a rounded terminal. On the reverse there is a transverse pin bar lug with the corroded iron remains of a pin within it and an incomplete catchplate. This is most likely to be a 10th century English variant of a Scandinavian brooch type. Similar examples are known from elsewhere in Suffolk from Freckenham (see SF-5708), Glemsford (see SF-9203) and Hemmingstone (see SF-66D362).
