The object is a brooch of Colchester derivative Polden Hill (flat wing ends type, Pattern). Usually these types of brooches date to the 1st to 2nd century, when they are made from copper alloy. However, this brooch is made from lead or lead alloy, and was made as the first stage to manufacturing brooches. The wings are semi-cylindrical with wing caps. The wings are now misshapen and slightly crumpled, This damage does not look too recent. The wing caps do not have the central hole, like their copper alloy comparisons. These holes would have held in place an axis bar. Also missing i…

Lead-alloy/pewter 'nummular' brooch. It consists of a flat circular plate 1.5mm thick, with a beaded outer border which encloses a design imitating a coin. This consists of a concentric legend enclosed by a second inner beaded border, and a centrally located cross. The legend is highly simplified and nonsensical, with individual letters being replaced by strokes. The reverse retains the attachment mechanism, consisting of a damaged pin lug and a sub-rectangular catchplate with a central perforation. Pewter disc brooches with beaded borders are fairly common in the Late Anglo-Saxon per…

Central part of a lead brooch in very good uncorroded condition, belonging to Weetch's type 13.A. Measuring 27 mm in diameter, it has rather late Celtic-looking decoration. In the centre is a small pellet surrounded by a relief triangle. Around this are three relief double-strand C-shapes, arranged back-to-back to form a triangle with outward-scrolling points. One of the pairs of scrolls has a pellet in each scroll, another has an annulet in each scroll, and the third has one pellet and one annulet. Each pair has a linking double-strand chevron between the scrolls. In the centre of ea…

Lead pseudo-coin brooch based on the Aethelred II last small cross type (minted 1009-1017). Circular and 26 mm in diameter, it is now bent around the edges. In the centre is a small relief cross made from four distinct wedges; around this is a plain relief circle, then the legend within an outer border of pellets. The legend reads + T M A O P P - - - N A O (the T may be a second cross; the P shapes are reversed; part of the legend is missing). The legend may be derived from + MA [NIE ON NOR] HA (Manna of Norwich, the moneyer) but it is too blundered to be certain. On the reverse is an…

Apparently a lead model for a brooch, which would have been circular and slightly domed. Some of the edges now appear to have been cut off straight, and the maximum surviving diameter is 21 mm. There is no decoration on the convex upper face. The reverse is flat, not hollowed, and has a surviving curled-over lug which looks like a catchplate. No pin lug survives. Perhaps a trial piece or a model which would have been used in the manufacturing process; similar to the small Anglo-Scandinavian domed disc brooches of the tenth century AD.

Fragment of an Anglo-Saxon lead disc brooch. Less than half survives. The drawing shows decoration of three rings of small pellets, around a concentric ridge, then a gap between these borders and the central motif. The central motif starts with a further ring of small pellets, around a cross motif made up of two strands of smaller, more closely spaced pellets. One arm of the cross survives and there appears to be infill between the arms of more pellets including perhaps a single larger one in the centre of the best-surviving quarter.

Lead disc brooch, 28 mm in diameter. It is flat and has relief decoration of a double-strand border around a Jellinge-style animal. The animal begins with a head with a round eye and open bulbous jaws. A long double-strand tongue emerges to interlace over the body and under one leg. The animal is twisted into a reversed-S shape, with an angular junction between the long curving neck and the body which runs across the centre of the brooch; both neck and body are transversely ribbed with a contour line running along the back. From the angular junction emerges a transversely ribbed forel…

Incomplete lead brooch. It is flat and circular, 39 mm in diameter, and about half is missing. There is a border consisting of two rings of pellets, which surrounds a relief quatrefoil. Inside this is another quatrefoil, and then a central relief circle. Only one of the foils survives complete, and this has a large pellet between the central circle and the line of the inner quatrefoil. Just inside the border, in some places cutting through the outer quatrefoil, is a ring of small circular perforations. On the reverse is a transverse pin lug, now squashed flat. The design of this br…

Lead nummular brooch, complete but crumpled and cracked. 31 mm in diameter, it is decorated with concentric rings of ornament. In the very centre is a relief cross with expanded arms, with a small boss in the middle. Around this is a ring of ladder pattern, and then a ring of pellets and another ring of ladder pattern. On the reverse is a transverse pin lug and a catchplate, both of similar size and both squashed nearly flat; the pin when horizontal would run along the same orientation as the central cross. The design of nummular brooches, as the name suggests, is ultimately based on …
