Title
Early Medieval brooch
Description
English: An incomplete Early medieval white metal coated copper alloy annular brooch dating to the c.5th-6th century, AD.450-600. The object comprises half of the brooch frame, this is flat and circular. The brooch has broken in half splitting the piercing for the pin in two. The upper surface is decorated with stamped triangular lattice decoration, these are opposed along both edges of the frame ring with points facing toward each other. Upon the reverse side there appear to be small pellet indentations, possibly more decoration or a product of the stamping process for the front. The brooch is copper alloy but appears to have been coated in a white metal, possibly tinned as per some examples in MacGregor and Bolick (1993, nos.10.1 and 10.3).

The brooch measures 35.8mm in length, 16.0mm in width, 1.3mm in thickness and weighs 2.0g.

There are a number of similar examples in MacGregor and Bolick (1993 pgs 82-86) and some on the database such as BERK-D25D70.
