A brooch consisting of head plate and foot plate, connected by a rounded bow. The semi-circular head plate has three conical projections, each with extensive grooves on its face.

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.

A late tenth- or eleventh-century cloisonné enamel brooch made from gilded copper alloy. The brooch has a raised centre with dark blue, light blue and red enamel. There are two T-shaped cells set opposite one another and filled with light blue glass, and two perhaps triangular cells filled with red glass. The field thus formed in the centre looks like a cross with offset arms, and is filled with dark blue glass. The cell walls are all made from copper-alloy strip. The enamel design is framed within two rings of chunky beaded wire which are also visible on the gilded reverse. The pin …
