Unique ID: NMS-89A7A7

Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow status: Awaiting validation

Incomplete heavily worn and corroded copper alloy Scandinavian-style disc brooch. Sub-circular with domed front and concave reverse. Only a slight vestige of an irresolvable design remains on the front face, a dark brown to green patina having be stripped from the surface during its time in the ground. The reverse has a single transverse pin fixing lug broken across its central circular hole, with a single longitudinal catchplate lug diametrically opposite. The pin itself is missing. The domed shape and pin arrangement are more characteristic of an Anglo Scandinavian/Scandinavian brooch form, probably Borre style. Circa AD900-1000.
