An early medieval disc or saucer brooch with a central circular hole. Around the hole, and within a double-line square frame, is a cast design composed of animals in Salin's Style I. On the back are the remains of an iron spring and pin and a scar of the missing catchplate. None of the edges of the brooch appears to be original.
Helen Geake comments: This could have been a cast saucer brooch: the pin fittings are so close to the edge that there could easily be some of the base missing. Its rim has either sheared off completely in the plough soil (rims are often very thin at the bre…

A diamond-shaped and slightly domed sheet metal strip brooch of Middle Saxon date (c.AD780-820). Traces of gilding survive. The brooch is well-preserved findspot, although the edges are a little 'nibbled' away with a certain amount of bright green 'bronze disease' visible. The brooch is pierced by eight rivet holes which probably held a missing pin attachment. The obtuse angles are both eroded away but the edge of one rivet hole in each of the two angles is still visible (making eight in all). The brooch is divided by plain ribbons arranged in a saltire into four diamond-shaped compar…

An annular copper-alloy object, 37 mm in diameter and slightly oval in cross-section. On one face the ring is decorated with three equally-spaced areas of transverse segments comprising transverse grooves, and with plain areas between. On the other face the grooves are continuous right around the circumference. The object is in good condition and is patinated dark green.
This is likely to be the frame of an annular brooch dating to the 7th century AD. These frequently have alternating zones of transverse ribbing and undecorated areas and tend to be of these slender proportions. E…

A penny of Eadgar, AD959-975 (EMC 2014.0296); parts of the circumference are missing in two areas. The obverse has been gilded. The edge of a small circular hole survives in the edges of one of the breaks which, together with the gilding, suggests that the coin was converted into a brooch, the hole being one of two used to attach a pin.
The coin is of a previously unrecorded type. In view of the missing portions the best guess is that the obverse would originally have read EA / DG / AR / REX (in a design reminiscent of the Luda penny of Alfred); it would fit in with other revival…

A Late Saxon cloisonne-enamelled disc brooch, gilded both on front and back. The brooch is circular and originally had seven equally-spaced lobed projections (one is now missing) with hollows for a missing inlay. The hinge and catchplate were made from soldered strips and both survive though they are damaged.
The enamelled cells are separated by seven thin strips of copper alloy which hold in place nine glass components which together make up a symmetrical design based on a pair of lobes with opposed spirals. This design is typically found in Scandinavian inspired metalwork of the …
