Description: | Fragment of a Late Saxon Scandinavian trefoil brooch, comprising the rounded terminal of one arm, with a broad semi-circular break on one side and a transverse break, worn and ancient. The item is decorated with elaborate symmetrical relief in the form of a broad segmented central stem flanked and interrupted by curled tendrils. There is no trace of catch-plate or pin lug on the reverse. Surviving length 28mm. Width 27mm. No parallel in Maixne. However the decoration on the brooch bears some similarity to that on Types E 1.3 (2005), Taf. 40, Kat. nr. 7-15, and F 3.2, Taf. 47, nos.12-13. 10th century.
