Title
early medieval square headed brooch fragments?
Description
English: Fragment of a silver object, probably originally a disc-shaped pendant. The fragment comprises a piece of silver sheet with no intact edge, decorated with repousse ornament creating five radiating lines of dots which converge in the centre of the fragment.

The decoration upon this fragment, its form and its association with a grave assemblage suggests it could derive from a silver sheet disc-shaped or 'scutiform' pendant, similar to those illustrated in MacGregor and Bolick (1993) figs. 25.3-5, p. 162. Scutiform pendants are usually found in grave contexts, and several are now recorded on the PAS database e.g. BUC-330014, KENT-5A33F2 and HAMP3426.
