The object is a brooch of Colchester derivative Polden Hill (flat wing ends type, Pattern). Usually these types of brooches date to the 1st to 2nd century, when they are made from copper alloy. However, this brooch is made from lead or lead alloy, and was made as the first stage to manufacturing brooches. The wings are semi-cylindrical with wing caps. The wings are now misshapen and slightly crumpled, This damage does not look too recent. The wing caps do not have the central hole, like their copper alloy comparisons. These holes would have held in place an axis bar. Also missing i…

Medieval Nummular brooch, relief decoration on face, reverse with stumps of broken catch-plate aligned with outer edge and damaged transverse catch-plate. The basic design is relatively generic on pennies from the 11th to the 12th centuries. The nearest parallel, however, is to reverses of William I's Profile/Cross and trefoils type penny (North 847) dated to the early 1080s. William II's Profile type is also very similar and also close in date (North 851; late 1080s). Other types are similar but have a voided cross which this brooch does not. Thus, on the balance of probabilities, th…
