Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy Early Medieval brooch. The brooch is sub circular in plan. The upper surface is undecorated. The reverse has two lugs, one on each opposite edge. One lug is semi-circular with a central perforation. A fragment of iron fills the perforation. This would have originally been a fragment of the pin, which is now missing. The opposite lug would originally formed catchplate which is a sub semi-circular lug with abraded edges. The surface of the brooch has a mottled dark and mid green coloured surface. The brooch measures 36.74mm long, 35.53mm wide and 11.64mm thick. It weighs 13.6g. The brooch is a disc brooch which dates to the 5th to 6th centuries (MacGregor and Bolick 1993 A Summary Catalogue of the Anglo-Saxon Collections B.A.R. 120 p. 57).
