Description: | An incomplete copper alloy annular brooch dating from the early Medieval period. Only about a third of the brooch survives. It would have been about 40mm in diameter. It is broken across the narrowed area where the pin would have been attached. The breaks are not completely patinated. The brooch is circular in plan and rectangular in cross section. The front is decorated with a border of annular punches along both edges of the frame. The surface has a grey colour, with a green patina. Compare NCL-33F414 and NCL-328534. The brooch probably dates from the 6th or 7th century.
