Description: | A fragment of a cast copper alloy Anglo-saxon circular disc brooch. The single cell is a curved trapezoidal shape. there is a raised zig-zag pattern on the border. The cell is inset by 0.9mm. The border is 2mm wide. The cell is 14mm long and 5.2mm wide. The complete fragment is 23mm long and 11mm wide. Two lugs on the reverse are now damaged and mis-shapen. These would have held a pin or spring in place, which is now missing. The broken edges are hollow and indicate that the three areas around this cell also held an inlay. The hollow edges indicate that inlay of metal, garnet or glass was used for decoration rather than enamel.
