Copper alloy annular brooch fragment. About one third of a narrow band annular brooch of fat lentoid section, ribbed in vermiform style on one side, presumably that side displayed. Abraded. The narrow band annular brooch appears as a diagnostic brooch type in later or ‘Final phase’ furnished Anglo-Saxon burials of the 7th century. The form enjoyed a reflux of popularity in the 13th century, albeit more usually taking the form of smaller and essentially decorative brooches.
