Description: An incomplete gilt copper-alloy Brooch of Early-Medieval (late Anglo-Saxon) date (AD 750-850). The object is a disc brooch of Weetch type 12. The object is sub ovate due to breaks which have resulting in the loss of the majority of the outer edges and portions of the inner plate. The upper surface is extensively decorated in chip carving within two cells flanking a raised expanding linear ridge.  This formed one arm of a dividing cross, a device often seen on these brooches. The object retains two large, silver, globular-headed rivets, one in the centre…

Description: Incomplete gilded silver disc brooch of  middle Anglo-Saxon date. About a quarter of the flat plate is now missing, but the surviving part includes the pin fixings, and part of the silver pin also survives. The front is gilded and has low-relief decoration now a little obscured by hard soil deposits, best described with the pin running horizontally and the missing area to bottom left. The design appears to be based on a cross, with four drop-shaped panels (at top left, top right, bottom right and the missing one at bottom left) each with its point towards the edge. T…

Description:  Early Medieval silver-gilt disc brooch with a copper alloy backing plate. This object consists of two sheet metal discs, a silver face and a copper alloy backing. These were most likely still joined on deposition as each has been bent to the same profile. The silver disc is incomplete with small portions of its body missing and the remaining sections cracked and bent out of shape.  While bending prevents an exact measurement of its dimensions it has been possible to estimate using a rim chart that it would have had an original diameter of around 44mm with a th…

Fragment of middle Anglo-Saxon copper-alloy (bronze) brooch of Elmsett type (Weetch type 16). Originally cross-shaped, only one flaring arm now survives. It has concave sides to the arm, the more complete arm curving increasingly tightly around a cut-out which is therefore more oval than circular. The end of the arm is convex. The fragment has two circular holes; one is smaller (1.6mm diameter) and is in the centre of the arm within a reserved circle. The other is larger (2.7mm diameter) and closer to the edge of the arm, so close that it has now broken through the edge of the brooch.…
