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 incised grooves; four on one side, arranged in two groups of two, and three individual grooves on the other side. At the other surviving cardinal point are two further individual transverse grooves. There are also transverse scratches or file marks on the reverse. The brooch has a dark green patina. 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). Compare also SWYOR-C92118.
