Title
Early medieval lead alloy Anglo-Scandinavian disc brooch
Description
English: Early medieval (Anglo-Saxon) lead alloy disc or nummular brooch. The brooch is circular in form and flat. It is decorated with concentric rings of solid lines which have intermittent raised dots. The innermost circle is formed of joining raised dots. The central section is slightly domed and is plain except for a small incised circle near the centre.

It is very similar to a brooch illustrated in Archaeology of York: the small finds 17/14 (Fig 1268, no 10601).

The brooch is also very similar to SF-5095A6

The brooch has been deliberately folded over twice, perhaps prior to recycling.

The object is in fair condition, is 1.5mm thick, would have been 34mm in diameter when flat (now 34mm in length and 8 to 17mm wide) and weighs 15.10g.
