Title
Early medieval lead disc brooch
Description
English: A complete lead late Anglo-Saxon disc brooch, circa 900-1100AD, with its pin missing. This brooch is likely to be a nummular brooch and the design ultimately derived from a coin but it is now abstract. It measures 30.1mm in diameter and 3.31mm in thickness.

Its front face is decorated with two concentric rings with circular pellets along these at more or less even intervals. within the inner circle there are two lozenge shapes, one inside the other, there is a circular pellet at each corner of the lozenge shapes. Within the inner lozenge shape there is a worn possible cross with a possible circular pellet in each quadrant.

On the back face the integral pin loop, with a vertical hole and catch plate survive, opposite each other.

No parallel could be found for the decorative design on this lead disc brooch.
