A worn, damaged Early Medieval copper alloy, saucer brooch, decorated with seven raised spirals around a central boss. Parts of the upturned edge of the saucer do survive, and although no gilding is detectable, there are traces of a white material in the hollows of the pattern.

This brooch was found on two separate days by two detectorists, the second, two years after the first! This first half [left in the image], was rec…

Two very worn and joining fragments of an early medieval (early Anglo-Saxon) saucer brooch. The sloping rim is completely missing. The brooch has a central circular boss with a relief pentagon around it. Around this is a raised area with several (originally five) sunken ovals or ellipses. While the condition of the brooch makes certainty impossible, these ellipses are likely to represent highly devolved animal decoration, perhaps related to the 'seven running legs' type (Dickinson 1993, p. 26, figs 62-65). Around the ellipses is a double circle which forms a frame. On the back is the …
