Copper alloy brooch. Cast umbonate plate brooch, as kindly identified by the finder who cites SWYOR-530E36 as a parallel; Mackreth type British Plate 7.a. A central projecting boss is surrounded by four symmetrically disposed oval cells which may retain enamel – if so of a probably blue tint - and are confined by a border. The boss is surrounded by a deep gutter. Outside this, a further border confines a series of eleven semi-circular cells, each apparently retaining a triangular plate of dull possibly blue enamel – it does not ‘flow’ to fill the available cells…
