Scandinavian copper alloy disc brooch. The brooch is decorated with an openwork Jellinge-style design of an interlacing animal (see NMS-7446E3 and ESS-4D7A85 for other examples of this style). On the reverse there are the remains of the pin lug and catchplate. The pin is missing.

An incomplete cast copper-alloy applied saucer brooch of the Anglo-Saxon period. Only the baseplase, central stud, and pin fittings remain. The baseplate is circular, but with minor chipping to the edges. The baseplate is very slightly concave. The stud is roughly hour-glass shaped, with a flat top and flat base. The top is 7.27mm in diameter and the stud 9mm in height from base to top. A small shank on the base of the stud fits through a perforation in the baseplate and has been possibly soldered to the base plate, though corrosion obscures this. Extending to either side of the stud …

A cast copper-alloy cruciform brooch of the Anglo-Saxon period, dating to the mid 6th century. The brooch is nearly complete, missing only the pin, though the top and base are corroed in situ in the pin fitting and catchplate, respectively. Some textile may also be preserved by the iron corrosion of the pin between the pin and the underside of the head plate. The brooch can be separated into three primary elements which will be described in turn: the headplate, the bow, and the foot. For purposes of description, the brooch is oriented with the headplate at the top. The headpla…
