Description: | Incomplete Late Saxon / Anglo-Scandinavian flat disc brooch, with a small piece of the edge missing. Unfortunately, the counter-relief decoration is worn and difficult to interpret, but is of Terslev type. Disc brooches with such ornament are normally convex (Kershaw 2013, 65-79). On the reverse the pin lug is aligned with the edge in the Anglo-Saxon way, while the catchplate is at right angles to it, in the Scandinavian manner (ibid. 23, figs. 2.1 and 2.2). The iron pin has been lost. Diameter 26mm. 10th century.
