Description: | Late Saxon cast Borre-style disc brooch, bent, with one half of the front surface more worn than the other. Decoration consists of a concave-sided lozenge with each of the four corners extended to form interlaced knots. In the centre is a sunken circular field. On the reverse are an incomplete single transverse pin lug and the scar of a missing catchplate. Iron corrosion around the pin-lug indicates that the missing pin was of iron. Weight: 5.59g. Maximum diameter 27mm. This type of brooch occurs quite frequently in East Anglia, with over 150 examples recorded from Norfolk. 10th century.
