Title
Late Early Medieval lead disc brooch.
Description
English: A late Early Medieval lead disc brooch. The brooch is flat, circular and decorated with cast Borre-style interlace.

The decoration comprises two elongated beasts intertwinned and biting their tail. The body of the beasts are decorated with ribs and each head is pointed oval. There are pellet-in-ring motifs located just inside the perimeter within angles and further examples located in the gaps between the bodies towards the middle. There is a large pellet in the centre. The perimeter of the brooch is decorated with pellets.

The reverse of the brooch has two worn lugs surrounded by iron corrosion, and a large complete catchplate.

This is most likely to be a 10th century English variant of a Scandinavian brooch type, it is a fusion of interlace style ultimately derived from Scandinavia combined with the Anglo-Saxon flat disc brooch shape.
