Description: | A lead brooch dating to the early medieval period, c. AD 900 to 1050. The object is sub-circular in plan however it has been folded and bent, probably through post-depositional processes. The back of the object has the lugs and pin catch which would have formed part of the mechanism. The pin is missing. The front of the object has cast decoration with a central raised pellet with two collars surrounding it. Around the central motif is a double lozenge shape with concave sides. At each point is a small rectangle with a row of pellets within. All of this detail is contained within a series of borders which run parallel to the edge of the brooch. There are similar objects on the PAS database including DUR-F58748 and LEIC-A12430.
