Description: | Enamelled copper alloy plate brooch fragment, hinged star-shaped type. About half the plate with damaged hinge lugs survives, all projections are missing the terminals. The pin was hinged between two close set lugs behind one of the points of a 6-pointed star shape with concave sides. At the centre a circular area, defined by a copper alloy circle, contains traces of completely discoloured enamel. The main area contains opaque orange enamel with 2mm diameter black spots set in it within each point. The back is flat with file marks. Surviving length 23mm, plate 1.7mm thick. Comparable shape brooches are illustrate by Hattatt (nos 1410, 1650), though the former has a raised centre setting, and a similar example has been found at Creeting in Suffolk.
