Title
Early medieval Borre style disc brooch
Description
English: Early medieval brooch; Cast copper alloy disc brooch with interlace decoration in the Anglo-Scandinavian “borre” style. Dated to the late 9th century. The brooch is a flat, circular plate of copper alloy with cast decoration on one face. The decoration shows a repeating interlace design which forms four knots around the brooch. There is a central roundel which has been left blank. This design is typical of Borre style disc brooches of this date. The back is undecorated and has the attachments of the pin still remaining, although the pin itself is now missing. The pin attachments are small, flat lugs of metal extending up perpendicular to the plate of the brooch. They are positioned on either side of the plate, near the edge. The lugs have been pierced with a large circular hole to form loops. One loop is complete, and has a semi-circular outer shape. The other loop is now incomplete and has a more squared shape.

Diameter 29.5mm, thickness (inc fittings) 7.8mm, thickness (plate) 2.3mm, weight 11.15g
