Description: | A cast copper-alloy disc brooch of Early Medieval date. The brooch is circular with a relief pattern in Borre style. It has a raised central lozenge and sunken circle in the middle. The central lozenge has an interlace pattern flowing out from it which form loose knots. The design is almost identical to others already recorded including SF-7A4511 and SF-D855A4. On the reverse there is an incomplete transverse pin bar lug and a fragment of the catch-plate. There is some damage around the edges and the front face is quite worn. The type is illustrated and described in Kershaw, 'Culture and Gender in the Danelaw: Scandinavian and Anglo-Scandinavian Brooches', p. 24, fig. 12. It is datable to the tenth century and is a distinctive Danelaw type. It is 27.73mm in diameter, 1.83mm in thickness and weighs 5.55g.
