Early Medieval copper alloy penannular brooch of 7th or 8th century date The cast brooch is fragmentary, represented by one terminal and part of the hoop (with a surviving length of 23.6mm, a surviving width of 18.5mm and a weight of 2.5g). The surviving terminal (14.6mm wide, 14.4mm long and 2.0mm – 2.4mm thick) is rounded with a straight inner edge and is flat. It is possible that the inner edge was connected to the missing terminal as seen on pseudo-penannular brooches. The decoration on the terminal is corroded but is of geometric form and has a raised border defining an inn…

Description: The silver object is a fragment of penannular brooch, one terminal and about 40% of the hoop surviving. The surviving terminal has a flat lozenge-shaped form, with rectangular cross-section, similar in thickness to that of the oval hoop, which has an oval cross-section. It is decorated on the external face with a central ring-and-dot motif, surrounded by four single punched dots. The terminal has bevelled edges on front and back faces. Gilding survives in the recessed decoration, suggesting that the terminals, if not the whole brooch, were once gilded. The original h…

The central panel is circular (11.3mm diameter) and is recessed. Within the circular panel is a simple i…
