Title
Brooch
Description
English: A complete late Anglo-Saxon lead disc brooch. It is circular in shape, measuring 33mm in diameter, it is flat and 1.6mm thick.

  The front face of this brooch is decorated with eight concentric grooves with a circular knop in the centre of the brooch measuring 3.8mm in diameter.  On the back face the integral catch plate and pin attachment, consisting of two opposing oval shaped projections, each with a circular perforation through them to accomodate the now missing pin, are complete.
Other late Anglo-Saxon lead disc brooches have been discovered in Suffolk, although none with this specific decorative design. The concentric circles are found on brooches imitating coins (nummular brooches) and so this brooch can be considered as a debased version of those. It is most likely to date to between 900 and 1100.
