Description: | Anglo Saxon gilded copper-alloy brooch or pin head, circular with separate central dome-headed copper-alloy rivet. There is a triangular panel of relief decoration in each quarter, each separated by an undecorated strip. The object has four equally spaced copper-alloy rivets, one positioned at the end of each undecorated strip - two remain. There is another rivet close to the central boss - there are some traces of iron staining on the reverse in a line between this rivet and one of the ones at the edge. The mount is damaged around roughly two thirds of its edge (so the original diameter cannot be measured), and it is distorted. Length 35.44mm, width 33.68mm, thickness (at central boss) 6.92mm, thickness (of disc) 1.44mm, weight 6.70g.Examples of similar brooches on the PAS database include WMID-054B67 and NCL-771FB.
