Description: | An incomplete cast lead medieval badge. The circular badge has a beaded border around the edge. The brooch was originally slightly convex, but one side is completely flat. After the beaded edge the badge raises up to a circular centre with openwork decoration. The decoration is similar to a wheel design made up of two concentric circular bands. Through the circles are four evenly spaced triangular plates in a cross formation. The plates meet in the centre of the badge. On each triangle are three pellets. In between each triangle is a vertical band. The bands do not meet in the centre but stop at the inner circular band. The back of the badge is plain. The badge is slightly squashed and flattened and some of the outer edge is missing. There are no signs of any attachment fittings on the badge. However, there is an exact parallel of the badge from a Saxon-Norman context in York (Bayley, J. 1992. Vol17/7, p780, Fig.340, No. 4278). The parallel has an attachment loop on one side, which may have been the case for this badge from Whitton. The diameter of the badge is 38.0mm and the weight is 12.57g.
