Description: | A lead alloy disc brooch, with just under half obliquely bent onto the reverse obscuring the flattened remains of the lug and catch-plate. The cast decoration consists of a double-edged cross with expanded equal arms within a billeted border, there are uncertain motifs in the angles and a rounded boss in the centre and at the ends of the arms. Diameter 31mm. 10th century. Extremely close to a fragmentary brooch from Grimston (HER 32100) and another complete brooch, probably from Mildenhall, Suffolk (Wilson 1964, 156-7, pl. XXVI).
