Copper-alloy, 7.35 grams, 9.25 grams; 56.37 mm, 57.28 mm. Mid 6th century AD. A matched pair of Anglo-Saxon annular brooches. One has had an ancient repair, with the brooch’s band being overlapped and drilled to take an attachment pin. The other has been reconstructed, due to a small piece having been lost in antiquity. Both brooches have inner and outer series of punched pellet decoration and vestiges of their iron pins. Reference: MacGregor, A. & Bolick, E.
