Description: | Late Saxon cast Borre-style disc brooch. Decoration of concave-sided lozenge with each of the four corners extended to form interlaced, double-contoured knots. In the centre is a sunken circular field. Around the damaged edge is a plain raised border. The decoration is worn, as on most recorded examples. On the reverse is a rectangular scar from the missing catch-plate or pin lug and a small probably accidental perforation at the opposite edge. However, there is no trace of the corresponding element for securing the pin.This brooch is of a type commonly found in East Anglia, with over 150 examples recorded from Norfolk. Weight: 4.48g. Diameter: 30mm.
