A large fragment of a decorated early medieval cast lead alloy disc brooch dating from the second half of the 10th century. Jane Kershaw reports: The brooch carries a variant of the Scandinavian Terslev motif classified by Sunhild Kleingärtner as 'Type III', with 4 volutes bound by an inner circle, and a central lozenge-shaped field (2007, 62-3, Abb. 10). It differs from the prototype motif in that the ring has additional triangular ring-knot extensions, which fill the space between each volute. In addition, the brooch carries integrally cast pellets both in the central field a…

An incomplete gilded copper-alloy unidentified object, perhaps a fragment of great square-headed brooch, with Salin Style I decoration of early early-medieval date (c.500-600).

An incomplete early early-medieval (Anglo-Saxon, c.500-600) gilded copper-alloy zoomorphic plate bird brooch with garnet eye detail, missing its pin. It appears to have Salin's Style I decoration. The brooch is in the form of a stylised bird in profile, with a raptor-like hooked beak facing right and circular eye behind. Below the curved line of the wing flanks the back of the body and terminates in a short outward projection, while the front of the body extends into a trapezoidal projection; this presumably representing the feet. Below is a triangular tail. To the reverse, longitud…

An incomplete copper alloy small radiate-headed brooch of early early-medieval date (AD 500-600), missing its pin (although iron corrosion surrounds the lug to the reverse of the head-plate).

Part of the upper plate and bow of an Early Medieval copper-alloy great square-headed brooch. On the back is a hinge with iron corrosion. On the front is a black surface deposit which could indicate the brooch has been in a fire. The original width of the brooch was c34mm. The squares in the central head plate and the paired facing beasts in the outer panels, the bars on the bow and pointed upper terminal of the bow are relatively well represented in Hines Group XV. The brooch belongs to Hines' Group XV, or a variant thereof (c.530-570). John Hines kindly comments: This sq…

A fragment of copper alloy circular brooch, of late early-medieval or early high-medieval date (perhaps 850-1200 AD).
