Description: | Middle Saxon/Late Saxon cast openwork disc brooch. Equal-armed cross in openwork formed by four large circular cut-outs. Each arm of the cross has concave sides, flaring outwards towards their ends. The arms are defined by grooves. Dot in centre. There is a groove around the circumference of the brooch and a plain border.
On the reverse are the remains of a transverse pin-lug and broken catch-plate. Traces of iron corrosion on the pin-lug indicate that the brooch was fastened with an iron pin. These brooches are relatively common. A very similar example was recently found in Hindringham (HER 25659). Weight: 3.69g. Diameter: 27mm. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 720
