About half of the flat circular frame of an early Anglo-Saxon copper-alloy annular brooch, with an original diameter of c. 40mm. One break is across a neat rounded hole in the frame. This may be the pin hole, but on the reverse there is solder around the hole and it may possibly alternatively be a repair. There is also some iron corrosion on the reverse here, which could be from the pin. The frame is otherwise well preserved here, and at 6.1mm wide appears to retain its original width. The inner edge is 1.2mm thick and it tapers towards the outer edge which is 0.6mm thick. Th…

Fragment of copper alloy, probably a small piece of foot from an early Anglo-Saxon cruciform brooch. The fragment is C-shaped in cross-section, hollow on the reverse, and is broken at both ends (one break fairly fresh and granular, the other more worn). At one end, the front has a bold moulding, 4-5mm deep and flat-topped, which is divided into two by an off-centre transverse groove. The overall surviving length is 21.1mm, maximum width 12.8mm and maximum thickness (at moulding) 6.0mm. It weighs 4.93g. It seems likely that this is one of the mouldings at the top of a horse's …

Head and bow from an early Anglo-Saxon copper-alloy small-long brooch. The flat, apparently undecorated headplate has a sub-rectangular central panel with three flat 'knobs', all of which appear to have been mushroom-shaped, or D-shaped above narrowed waists. This shape of headplate is often known as 'trefoil'. On the reverse of the headplate is a broken pin bar lug (worn breaks) with iron staining around it. All the edges of the headplate are worn. The bow is D-shaped in cross-section, quite highly arched and simple, with a groove across the top the onl…

Head and bow from an early Anglo-Saxon copper-alloy small-long brooch. The flat headplate is very worn and its original shape is uncertain, but it has the remains of deep U-shaped cut-outs in both its lower edge and its upper corners, forming three knobs. These may have had straight ends, as the top and one side knob each retain a straight row of crescentic stamps along their edges. On the reverse of the headplate is a large double pin bar lug, one lug incomplete and the other retaining part of an iron pin bar. There is extensive iron corrosion between the two lugs.  The bow…
