Description: | Incomplete Early Saxon copper alloy openwork disc brooch with four apertures forming a swastika motif, less than half extant (recent breaks). A catchplate survives on the reverse. There is no evidence for decoration on the front surface. Brooches of this type are not common (MacGregor and Bolick 1993, 69). Only two have been entered onto the PAS database (YORYM-285423 and LEIC-F79EA1), and a single example appears in the Suffolk Anglo-Saxon Corpus (West 1998, fig. 118.8). Diameter 49mm. 6th century.
