Late Saxon lead disc brooch of Weetch's type 5, with single transverse pin lug and catchplate on reverse. Six concentric circles of pellets surround a central motif. Diameter 39mm. Thickness c.1.5mm. Weighing 20.68g.
A.B.Marsden's (8/5/07) comments: The brooch's design can be described as broadly nummular rather then explicitly so. There is no legend. Indeed, most of the decorated face of the brooch is taken up with the raised circular borders surrounding the central device; these are of alternating form, four being plain circles, the other three being constructed of pellets. The c…

Cast lead or lead alloy disc, in the form of an early medieval button brooch. The object has no rim, and two ill-formed projections on the back correspond to a pin-lug and catch-plate. Possibly a model used in the production of a mould for a copper alloy button brooch.

Late Saxon lead nummular brooch, circular with pelleted decoration in relief on face, damaged outer edge surviving best as a projection where the squashed catch-plate survives on the reverse. Diameter >36mm. The brooch is broadly nummular in type but does not exactly correlate to a particular reverse type. The nearest parallels for the arrangement of pellets and annulets are perhaps the Jewel cross types of Cnut and his successors but these lack the ornate decoration around the border of the brooch. There are no parallels for this decoration of chevrons, pellets and curved lines on th…

Early Medieval Anglo Saxon cruciform brooch fragment made from lead, 5th-6th century. Head-plate and top-knob only. Integrally cast top-knob, semi-circular in section, domed in outline with groove at the junction with the rectangular-sectioned trapezoidal base. Trapezoidal head-plate; it is unclear if side wings have been broken off or if they were never present. The rest of the brooch is broken off at the base of the head-plate. The single lug on the reverse of the head is un-pierced, and so could not have supported a pin; it is bent to one side. Thick cream patina. Length 41.38mm, w…

A cast lead-alloy brooch of early-medieval date and nummular type, probably dating from the 9th-11th centuries. The brooch is circular in shape, with a wide flat border. The central area is raised to create a stepped-up inner section, which is also circular and flat. This area is hollow on the reverse. The rim of the brooch is decorated with a continuous run of small inward pointing lines. Adjacent to this are a series of raised triangles, each one pointing to the edge of the brooch. Each triangle has been further decorated with three parallel raised lines. The central raised area fea…

Late early-medieval lead disc brooch with possible runic inscription. In the centre of the brooch is a convex boss, and this is surrounded by perhaps five closely spaced concentric ridged rings. On the reverse (from the photo only) it is hard to see any pin fixings, although there is damage including two large cracks.
The photos appears to show a brooch of c. 28 mm diameter.
Interestingly, in the centre of the brooch. slightly off-centre on the boss, is a possible runic graffito. The motif is in the form of a lozenge with 'tails', the runic 'epel' (approximating our letter '…

A cast lead disc brooch, probably of Early-Medieval or Medieval date. It is missing part of the integral lug, catchplate and pin due to old breaks. The brooch is flat, circular in form and has moulded decoration on the front face. This comprises a cross formed from two pairs of parallel lines, creating a square positioned slightly off-centre on the front face where they transect one another. In each quadrant of the cross is moulded decoration that may have originally been intended to represent lettering, although this is uncertain and may simply be decorative. The back face is flat an…
