Description: | A cast copper alloy Borre-style disc brooch. Very worn and slightly bent with some damage to the outside edge. The decoration comprises a single sunken circle in the centre of the brooch, surrounded by a concave-sided lozenge, the four corners of which extend to form double-contoured interlace. The brooch is purplish in colour. On the reverse are the remains of a transverse pin-lug near the edge of the brooch. This is a short stump that protrudes only 2mm from the back of the brooch and is broken across the possible remains of the perforation for the pin. There is no trace remaining of the missing catch-plate. This brooch is of a type commonly found in East Anglia, with over 140 examples recorded from Norfolk. Maximum diameter: 29mm. Weight: 5.26g.
