Object type: HANGING BOWL
Broad period: EARLY MEDIEVAL
County: the Vale of Glamorgan
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
An incomplete, corroded copper alloy and enamel escutcheon from a type B or C hanging bowl of Early Medieval date (likely mid-6th to mid-7th century AD).

Early Medieval copper alloy penannular brooch of 7th or 8th century date
