Description: | Early medieval cast lead alloy circular disc brooch, 10th or 11th century. Central quartrefoil with projecting central boss and drop-shaped petals, all within a raised plain border (width 7.54mm) with beaded outer edge. On the reverse are the remains of a double lug to take the pin bar (one lug complete but bent sideways, the other mostly broken off), and the simply curled over catchplate which is complete but bent sideways. The pin is missing. Mid-grey to cream in colour. Diameter 40.6mm, thickness including catchplate & boss c.8mm, thickness at edge c.2.3mm, weight 23.62g. This appears to have been bent at some point, having two crease lines, particularly visible on the reverse.
