Description: | A fragment from a cast copper-alloy Anglo-Saxon disc brooch. The surviving quarter panel of the flat circular brooch is decorated with a gilded Style II animal design. The interlacing animal has horizontal ribs on the ribbon-like body. His snake-like head is on the top right of the panel though it is now quite worn. On either side of the decorated panel is an incomplete plain field with an empty circular setting near the outer edge of the brooch. There are also the remains of a central circular setting, though most of this does not survive. The back of the brooch has an integral lug with a circular perforation. The surviving length of the fragment is 29.2mm, the surviving width is 48.9mm and the weight is 11.44g.
