About half of the flat circular frame of an early Anglo-Saxon copper-alloy annular brooch, with an original diameter of c. 40mm. One break is across a neat rounded hole in the frame.

There is also some iron corrosion on the reverse here, which could be from the pin. The frame is otherwise well preserved here, and at 6.1mm wide appears to retain its original width. The inner edge is 1.2mm thick and it tapers towards the outer edge which is 0.6mm thick. Th…
