Two fragments of an Anglo-Saxon square-headed brooch, made of silver, partly gilded and inlaid with niello. The headplate and foot are present however the bow is missing. The breaks are jagged and appear to be of relatively recent occurance.

The brooch is made of an Anglo-Saxon silver penny of the Sovereign type of Edward the Confessor (1042-66), issued in the late 1050s by the moneyer Ægelwerd of London. Although it is difficult to be certain given the secondary treatment, it appears to be struck from the same reverse dies (and possibly the same obverse dies) as an example in the British Museum collection, BMC ii, p. 412, no. 998. The coin has been gilded on the reverse and has been pierced three times so that brooch fittings could be secured to the obverse with rivets.
This is part of a growing body of similar fin…

An incomplete Early-Medieval (Anglo-Saxon) gilded silver keystone disc brooch of Avent's Class 3, set with garnets.
This brooch is decorated with three evenly spaced keystone garnets surrounding a central roundel.

A silver gilt fragment of a footplate of a square headed brooch.

Fragment of an early Anglo-Saxon S-shaped brooch, representing just under half. The object was cast in silver, but most of the gilding has rubbed off. Triangular punch marks decorate the body of the animal and were once filled with niello, now only left in a few punch marks and visible only under magnification. The back still retains the attachment lug for the pin and is otherwise plain.
Discussion: S-brooches were popular in the early medieval period, both on the Continent and in England. Here, they are most common in Kent.

Silver pin, formed from a 1.7mm diameter wire which tapers to a broken point at one end. The head is coiled twice and then flattened at the front to form a 3.2mm wide strip, which survives as 8mm long but might originally have been longer - it is not clear whether this is an abraded break or a true end, though the taper in profile suggests this is the original form. The main shaft has some small bends but was probably originally straight.

This report concerns a gilt silver coin brooch found at Andover Down in Hampshire in 2008, by Martin Reed, while metal detecting with the landowner's consent. The find was found on cultivated land, 2-3 inches below the surface, and was promptly reported as potential Treasure. The brooch is made from a silver penny of Eadwig (king of all England 955-57, king of Wessex 957-9). The coin is a rare floral variety probably minted in the West Midlands, and must therefore come from the earlier part of Eadwig's reign, before his brother Eadmund became king of Mercia in 957.
