English: Early medieval cast copper alloy brooch of Early Anglo Saxon saucer type and of 5th or 6th century AD date
The brooch is incomplete missing the pin and fittings and much of the rim and is a comparatively substantial example (with a maximum surviving diameter of 42.0mm, a maximum surviving depth of 7.5mm and a weight of 30.6g). Only a small part of the rim survives (30mm long, giving a depth of 7.2m and a height of 4.2mm). There is an undecorated border at the base of the rim except for the suggestion of punched dots on the inner edge of the border. Inside the border is a loosely-repeating incised geometric motif, perhaps of 'Coherent' Salin's Style I. The motif depicts three repeating stylised birds in anticlockwise procession, probably water-birds and perhaps ducks. The three birds are depicted swimming or seated in side profile around the central roundel. The circular eyes are comparatively large in sunken relief. Grooved fields to the rear of the head may depict wings. A lozenge separates each of the birds and runs from the outside border to the central roundel. The central roundel (9.5mm diameter) is not decorated. The reverse of the brooch has the stub from the single pierced lug that would have held the sprung pin and at the base the scar from the missing catch-plate. The surface is corroded with a mid to dark-brown patina on the face and pale brown to green corrosion on the rear.
