Description: | Part of a copper-alloy annular, narrow-banded brooch dating from the Early Medieval period. It is circular in shape and flat rectangular in cross-section. A small area is narrowed where the pin would have been attached. This is flanked by double incised grooves, and the point opposite on the frame, and at the other cardinal points have similar decoration. In between, the decoration consists of crescent shaped punch marks, with a small triangle in the curve of each. It has a dark green patina which is grey and shiny in places, suggesting it may have been tinned. It has a length of 40.18mm, width 8.07mm, thickness 1.89mm, weight 5.71g. For reference see West's corpus of Anglo-Saxon Material from Suffolk p 227, figure 109.11. Similar brooches discussed in Walton Rogers 2007 are suggested to date from the early to mid 6th century (p. 116-117).
