Description: | Anglo-Scandinavian copper alloy disc brooch, 30.5mm in diameter and 3mm thick. The brooch is in poor condition, having part of its edge missing and extensive green corrosion on the upper decorated face. The brooch is 29mm in diameter, 10mm thick (measured at the catchplate) and weighs 8.33 grams. On its reverse it has a hooked catchplate, 8mm wide and 9mm high, and on the opposite edge is a rounded lug 9mm wide and 6mm high with a central pierced hole containing iron corrosion, presumably from the pin. The brooch is decorated in the Borre style, with traces of a central circle placed inside a raised lozenge which has interlace protruding from each of its corners, these twine around to form a knot motif which fills each quarter.
