Description: | Lead alloy.Brooch fragment. Cast plate brooch with a rib on the back representing what remains of fastening gear; from the side the object displays a flattened plano-convex profile. The front bears an angular interlace motif, with each element comprising six or more parallel strands; the effect is reminiscent of a plaited fabric; and it is set about a tiny central boss. The edges are abraded, but both sides are patinated overall. This would appear to be a fragment of a cheap Anglo-Scandinavian brooch. Suggested date: Early Medieval, 900-1000.Diameter: 28mm, Thickness (clear of fastening gear): 3.6mm, Weight: 8.51gms.
