The foot from an early-medieval small-long brooch (5th/6th century AD). The foot is expanded, with five sides. It is asymmetrical, with the left side when the foot is lowermost longer and wider. Above the foot the leg is as narrow as 6mm before flaring to 24.25mm at the foot. At the other end the bow curves upwards before a break. On the lower side of the leg is a slightly abraded, perpendicular catchplate (14.9 x 5.25 x 2mm). Viewing the brooch in profile one can see that the foot is bent upwards compared to the leg, most so on its left side. The upper surface of the brooch is d…

An incomplete, gilded cast copper-alloy imitation of a Kentish 'keystone garnet' disc brooch of c. 6th-century date. The brooch has lost its pin and has suffered some removals from its edge. It is the size of an Avent (1975) Class 2 brooch, while bearing the more simple ornament of the smaller Class 1. The central raised setting is a simple circle (Dia.: 8.1mm) (Avent (1975, 81; Fig. 8) Type 1.1), now empty. At the cardinal points are four triangular keystone settings with their points inwards (Avent (1975, 80; Fig. 5, Type 5.1). All four contain fragments of what is probably red g

The very worn and abraded cast copper-alloy head probably from an early-medieval (Anglo-Saxon) small-long brooch (5th/6th century AD); the other possibility would be an X-form brooch. The head is rectangular (tending towards square), now with rounded corners. Central on one of the longer edges are the vestiges of the bow beginning to travel upwards. There is a possible transverse groove/ridge above this. From the same edge, but on the reverse surface and just off centre, is the highly abraded semi-circular pin lug (max. th.: 9.5mm). This appears to have broken through at the perforat…

An incomplete gilded copper-alloy nummular brooch of late early-medieval date (11th century AD). Perhaps two-thirds of the artefact survives, bent; only a limited section of the circumference is extant. This is effectively a repoussé disc brooch, decorated unifacially with a design raised up from below. The design is that of a crowned, bearded and ?draped bust facing right, with a sceptre to the right, all within a beaded border. Between the border and the surviving circumference are the letters '?EDAA?', with a faint beaded border towards the circumference. The brooch seems to be im…

A bent and slightly corroded incomplete cast copper-alloy artefact: probably a brooch of medieval date, perhaps earlier. The original artefact is assumed to have been annular; around two-thirds now survives. One end appears complete and terminates in a lozenge with a sub-square outward protrusion just before. It is plausible that there would have been a similar opposing arrangement, but the artefact has now broken. The object widens from c. 5.1mm at the break to a maximum width of c. 7.5mm.

It has a trefoilate head-plate, comprising a central square with semicircular arms on three sides. On the upper surface there are pairs of incisions delineating the recesses between the arms and the central plate. The pin lug has been lost on the lower surface.

The brooch is made of an Anglo-Saxon silver penny of the Sovereign type of Edward the Confessor (1042-66), issued in the late 1050s by the moneyer Ægelwerd of London. Although it is difficult to be certain given the secondary treatment, it appears to be struck from the same reverse dies (and possibly the same obverse dies) as an example in the British Museum collection, BMC ii, p. 412, no. 998. The coin has been gilded on the reverse and has been pierced three times so that brooch fittings could be secured to the obverse with rivets. This is part of a growing body of similar fin…

The brooch consists of a raised circular centrepiece (Dia.: 17.1mm) which is set into a raised collar soldered onto a circular plate from which seven equally spaced integral lobes would have emerged. Seven lobes is a common number for such 'Saunderton' type cloisonné disc brooches (Buckton 1986, 15). On this brooch four lobes have been all but destroyed, while two more are abraded at their tips. These latter flank a lobe that s…

Both main elements, the triangular and the circular, are decorated with a punched double concentric circle around a central punch. Around the circle on the circular element are zig zag incisions.

At the top the plate is decorated with two ring and dot stamps. The top and side edges of the plate are decorated with groups of three lines which form a V which a central division. On the back of the plate is a flat rectangular area of white metal. There is no sign of there having been a hinge or catchplate here so perhaps the hinge was a separately soldered fitting.

This report concerns a gilt silver coin brooch found at Andover Down in Hampshire in 2008, by Martin Reed, while metal detecting with the landowner's consent. The find was found on cultivated land, 2-3 inches below the surface, and was promptly reported as potential Treasure. The brooch is made from a silver penny of Eadwig (king of all England 955-57, king of Wessex 957-9). The coin is a rare floral variety probably minted in the West Midlands, and must therefore come from the earlier part of Eadwig's reign, before his brother Eadmund became king of Mercia in 957.
