Description: | Copper alloy brooch fragment, hinge headed type. Missing lower bow and pin, damaged hinge and margins, corroded and abraded surfaces with iron staining. Above the hinge the vertical, rectangular section upper bow tapers to the junction with the flat central panel. This centre panel is lozenge shaped and has a centre raised dot in a ring - the back has a possible stud end projecting behind this. The adjacent flat area has traces of white metal (tinning?) forming a 9mm diameter ring, and a concentric outer band is slightly recessed and perhaps originally enamelled. Surviving length 19mm, maximum surviving width (lozenge) 18.5mm. Shape similar to Hattatt 1553 but differs in decorative detail.
