Title
Early-medieval brooch: Anglo-Saxon disc brooch
Description
English: An incomplete and damaged cast copper alloy disc brooch, dating to the early medieval (Anglo-Saxon) period. The brooch is flat, originally circular but now sub-circular, having suffered damage to its edge. On the upper face of the brooch, ten irregularly spaced ring-and-dot motifs (with double ring) form a border around the edge of the brooch, with a similar central ring-and-dot in the centre. The brooch has been tinned and much of this still survives, but only on the front.

On the reverse of the brooch the catchplate is missing, as is the pin and most of a single pin lug for the pin - there is iron staining around this area which indicates the pin was of iron.

A pair of brooches with an identical design was found in a grave in Berinsfield (Oxon) and are now in the Ashmolean Museum (Macgregor and Bolick 1993:65 fig 4.49.). They date from c. AD 450-550.
