Title
Early-medieval : Brooch
Description
English: A very fine and elaborate copper alloy, cast openwork disc brooch, Anglo-Saxon in date and cultural association. Brooches of this type tend to date to the 6th - 7th Century and are often found in burial contexts or in areas where inhumations are known.

The brooch has a backwards swastika design, achieved through the removal of four T-shaped sections, forming the openwork design. The front is decorated with five circular stamps, comprising of a dot within two concentric circles. One stamp is in the centre of the brooch, with the other four located at the end of each arm where it meets the brooch frame. The frame has a wide circular border, which is flat and albeit for the ring and dot motifs is undecorated.

The patina survives in a very good condition, it is a light greyish-green colour and slightly pitted. The brooch is in a good condition but is slightly bent towards the outer. The pin is missing, however the catchplate survives intact and a single lug survives, seemingly intact. It is pierced and contains corroded iron.

A parallel can be seen in LEIC-F79EA1 and dates to the Anglo Saxon period. This type of brooch is more akin to brooches from the South and East of England.
