Description: | A copper alloy disc brooch with an incomplete single transverse pin lug and catchplate, and ferrous staining probably from a pin on the reverse. A septfoil with a drilled blind hole in each foil and a central flat octagonal boss decorated with an engraved Latin cross and drilled blind hole in each angle. The edges of the foils and the boss have been formed with a file and there are file marks on the reverse. It was suggested that the central cross of very close parallels from Paderborn in Germany had lost its enamel inlay (Eggenstein, G. et al. (eds.) Eine welt in Bewegung: Unterwegs zu Zentren des frühen Mittelaters, 290-1, Kat. Nr. 147.11-3).Diameter 20mm. 9th - 10th century.
