Description: | A Late Saxon cast Borre-style disc brooch. The decoration consists of a concave-sided lozenge with each of the four corners extended to form interlaced, double-contoured knots. In the centre is a sunken circular field. Around the edge is a plain raised border. The decoration is slightly worn, and there is a small semi-circular section torn from the edge. On the reverse is a broken pin lug, with a slightly raised rectangular area opposite, probably the scar from the missing catch-plate. The pin is missing.This brooch is of a type commonly found in East Anglia, with over 150 examples recorded from Norfolk. It weighs 5.5g and measures 29mm in diameter. It dates from the 10th century.
