Description: | A fragment of an Early Medieval copper alloy annular brooch probably dating to the 6th century. This fragment includes part of the recess in the frame to accommodate the pin. The frame is stepped in from both the inner and outer edge to create the recess. The frame widens towards the side opposite the recess (width: 7.01mm to 8.52mm). The front surface of the brooch is decorated with a stamped zig-zag pattern. The pin and the rest of the frame are no longer present and the breaks appear ancient.A very similar annular brooch is recorded on the Portable Antiquities Scheme database - SUSS-9A2E98 with the suggested date of 6th century.Dimensions: width: 8.52mm; thickness: 2.22mm; weight: 2.99g.
