Description: | Late Saxon copper alloy disc brooch, partly distorted, with single transverse pin lug and incomplete catchplate on reverse. A small fragment is missing from the edge is missing. The front is decorated with Scandinavian interlace ornament of UppÄkra type (Kershaw 2010, 135 and 210). Despite the distortion it is clear that the object was not convex but flat or almost so. This and the pin lug aligned with the edge suggests this is an Anglo-Scandinavian product. Two other examples have been recorded in Norfolk, from Hillington (HER 39307; PAS NMS2583) and Wiveton (HER 29162). Diameter of 28.5mm. Dates to the 10th century.
