Description: | Copper alloy disc brooch. Missing its pin but other wise complete. Gilded on the top, white metal on the base including the catchplate and spring lug. The spring is held on a single pierced lug, with a copper-alloy axis bar. The back of the plate is flat, and the central rivetted element shows slightly proud. The front of the centre rivet has a knob terminal (diam 2.82mm) above a groove, and expands to 6.34mm at the base over the spoked ring which it holds in place. The six "spokes" are oval shaped with a concave upper face and point downwards, almost touching the plate. The plate has a flat outer band, inside this there is a slightly hollowed band behind the spokes. Diameter 24.63mm, thickness of plate with knob 6.24mm. This is a fairly uncommon British type; Hattatt maps 12 egs; there is a similar example form Isleham, Cambridgeshire, see SF-11139.
