English: An Early Medieval (Anglo-Scandinavian) copper-alloy disc brooch with in-laid glass, cloisonné enamel (late 10th - 11th century). The brooch has seven rounded projections (lobes) arranged equidistantly. On each of these lobes a collar of copper-alloy strip has been soldered. Inset into these collars is a sphere of translucent glass; only four remain and they are dark blue. On the main body of the brooch a collar (again copper-alloy strip) has been soldered, and inset into this is the cloisonné enamel disc. The pattern comprises two quatrefoils, one in the centre and one outer one. The lobes of the outer one emerge at the junctions between the lobes of the central one. Each lobe is a pointed oval cell. The central quatrefoil is opaque pale blue glass and the external quatrefoil is alternate red and yellow opaque glass. The surface of the one of the red cells is partially missing revealing dark blue glass underneath. The space around the quatrefoils is filled with dark blue glass. The cell work is copper alloy and may originally have been gilded, but there is no trace of the gilding now. Large areas of gilding are still present; even on the twin lugs either side of the spring and the catchplate. On the reverse of the brooch the original pin is missing but there is a lump of iron corrosion near the twin lugs. A silver pin is now in place, probably a replacement to the original iron pin. The brooch is very similar to one found at Feltwell, Norfolk (Buckton 1986, 9 fig.1 no. 6) in form but the enamel design slightly differs. The silver pin is unlikely to constitute 10% of the entire object as such it does not fall under the 1996 Treasure Act. Diameter: 19.51mm including the lobes: 24.47mm; thickness: 9.22mm; weight: 5.75g.
