Title
Early Medieval saucer or disc brooch (plan and reverse)
Description
English: A cast copper alloy Early Medieval brooch. The brooch is an incomplete circle in plan, with a small integral lug protruding from an edge. The underside of the lug forms an incomplete integral catchplate. The catchplate is now a semi-circular lug with abraded edges. On the reverse face, opposite the catchplate there are two parallel integral lugs; one is more complete than the other. These lugs originally would have formed the hinge for the pin. There is no evidence for the axis bar, spring or pin. The upper surface of the brooch has an intermittent encrustation, which may have originally been an element of the brooch rather than a corrosion product. Otherwise the surface of the brooch has a dark green/brown coloured surface. The brooch measures 43.75mm long, 30.68mm wide and 6.71mm thick. It weighs 10.64g. The brooch is possibly either a disc or saucer type. Both of these types date to the 5th to 6th centuries.
