Description: | Early Medieval copper alloy and gilt brooch fragment,28mm long and 15mm wide. The object is in a worn state and has a green/black patina with traces of gilded surface. It represents part of the outer edge of a circular disc brooch. The edge is incomplete but consists of a raised beaded border with an incised groove on either side. Inside this is a raised circlular border containing a circular depression, 7mm in diameter, which probably held a stone. On either side of this are traces of incised curved lines all have traces of gilding. The reverse is plain but has a protruding area which may have been part of the catchplate. The closest match in Hattatt is Fig 691. The brooch probably dates to the sixth or seven century.
