Copper alloy brooch. Cast concavo-convex sub-rectangular plate with a [now] plain central field bordered by a pelleted line and a series of juxtaposed U-shaped ovulos also outlined by fine pellets. The motifs may indicate an acquaintance with Neo-Classical decorative forms. Opposed U-shaped lugs at the end presumably retained a bar or pin which was perhaps hinged on one of the ends and passed into the other. Suggested date: Post-Medieval, 1800-1900 Length: 30.1mm, Width: 13.3mm, Height (i.e. protrusion): 4mm, Thickness: 1.2mm, Weight: 4.23gms

Lead alloy brooch fragment, as kindly identified by the finder. Cast or mis-cast head of a small long brooch with head of cross potent form, and with rust around the stub of a lug on the back suggesting the former presence of an iron pin mounted behind the head. Fiercely abraded, and possibly partly melted; a small [length 12mm] fragment broke away during examination, probably a sad relict of the upper part of the bow. This may have been an object intended to substitute for a ‘real’ or working copper alloy version, perhaps used to close or complete an Anglian burial costume. The e…

Lead alloy possible brooch. Cast flat ring with a central hole of diameter 15mm with a cut and bent edge suggesting knife-trimming or the removal of a central boss. A pelloidal texture appears on both flat sides, though whether this is a design, the melted relict of a design, or simply heat damage, is uncertain. This object may relate to medieval base metal trinkets, perhaps made in imitation of costume jewellery such as a brooch or annular brooch, made in more precious materials. Suggested date: Medieval, 1200-1300 Diameter: 26.9mm, Thickness: 1.6mm, Weight: 2.48gms

An early-medieval to medieval lead-alloy shield brooch dating from AD 1050 - AD 1175, of Weetch type 26. The brooch is an elongated drop shape, or kite shaped.

Lead brooch fragment. About one quarter of a circular brooch with a moulded design of closely-spaced radial lines originating from a central boss. One or more circumferential ribs intersecting the radial lines give an effect reminiscent of a spider's web. Paired lugs with iron staining on the back mark the position of a pin seat.

A small lightly concavo-convex plate, of probably originally discoid form, with a moulded design comprising a plain cross whose arms are rendered by quadruple strands, with a large central pellet and with a pellet and ring in each of its angles. Further smaller pellets and curls also appear between these major elements. A small stub on one side of the back may represent pin gear, otherwise lost. Patinated.

Late Early Medieval lead alloy disc brooch of Weetch's type 4.B, 19mm in diameter, 5mm thick and weighing 5.35grams. The brooch has four raised 'petal' like motifs arranged in a quatrefoil. This is surrounded by a solid double raised border filled with rounded pellets. The reverse of the brooch has two semi-circular lugs aligned parallel to each other and joined by two raised bars to each edge, giving the overall effect of a shallow box fitting. The brooches decoration fits Weetch type 4.B, which are dated to the 11th century and have an eastern distribution, suggesting possible ma…

A lead brooch of Weetch's type 4.C, dating to the early medieval period, c. AD 900 to 1000. The object was originally circular and flat, but it has been folded and bent, probably through post-depositional processes. The back of the object has the lugs and pin catch which would have formed part of the mechanism. The pin is missing. The front of the object has cast decoration with a central raised pellet with two collars surrounding it. Around the central motif is a double lozenge shape with concave sides. At each point is a small rectangle with a row of pellets within. All of this d…

Lead alloy possible brooch fragment. Cast fragment from a flat plate with part of a relief design on its display face; three adjacent pellets of which one is larger than the others and a curved line above them with uncertain extensions and intersecting a cabled border. Patinated overall. This fragmentary motif might derive at its earliest, from a Viking-Age plate brooch displaying Christian symbols; or a cheap medieval brooch; or a pilgrim badge of an indeterminate cult centre - oriented as illustrated, the eye of faith might discern Christ hanging on the cross to be the subject.

An incomplete, lead-alloy, late Anglo-Saxon, or Anglo-Scandinavian, disc brooch. The brooch is circular and is slightly domed on its front and concave on the reverse. The front is decorated with relief moulding, consisting of a circumference of raised pellets and a non-geometric design within it. The area of the central design is subject to a large amount of white, powdery corrosion, probably due to the deterioration of the tin content of the alloy (commonly referred to as 'tin pest'), and is difficult to interpret. On the back of the brooch, the integrally-moulded catch plate surv…

An incomplete cast lead alloy object, possibly a fragment of a brooch dating from the early Early Medieval period (AD 400 - 600). The brooch is possibly a small square-headed type, but this identification is uncertain due to the fragmentary nature of the object. The fragment is roughly rectangular in plan with two original edges at a right angle, forming the outer edge of the object, and two broken edges. It is slightly bent and distorted, this was probably caused when it was broken. The front face of the object has relief decoration consisting of three equally spaced lines running pe…
