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 …

The head-plate of an early medieval copper-alloy brooch, of 5th or 6th century date and probably of continental origin. The brooch has a frilled or lobed outline with six small round holes on each face, each now filled with iron. The brooch has a hinge on the back and retains a fragment of a narrow bow. No other decoration is visible. Barrie Ager kndly comments: It seems most likely that the head-plate is from a continental form of radiate-headed brooch with a semi-circular head on which the five radiating knobs have become reduced to rounded lobes. A fair comparison can be draw…

An Early Anglo-Saxon gilded copper-alloy saucer brooch, complete save for the missing iron pin, and with slight probable plough damage to the rim. The brooch has a central domed flat-topped circular boss with two concentric circular ridges around it. A broad field outside is infilled with geometricised zoomorphic relief decoration in Salin's Style I. A profile head can clearly be seen, looking right with open pointed jaws and a rounded brow. A triple-strand body block is behind the head, and an element which crosses this may be intended as a foreleg. There is probably a second animal …

An Early Medieval gilded copper alloy round-headed or equal-ended plate brooch. Both ends appear to be triangular and are decorated with faces. Most of the catchplate end is missing. Barrie Ager kindly comments: This is an example of an unusual equal-armed type with concave-sided, triangular arms, which has very few early Anglo-Saxon parallels as yet, although it is too early to be a continental ansate brooch. A 6th-century date does indeed seem likely on the basis of the Style I decoration. The type comes mainly from Kent, the Isle of Wight (IOW-A71E22) and Wessex and there is a v…

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…
