Copper-alloy, 7.30 grams, 51.01 mm. 5th century. A good example of an unusual brooch type. The quadrangular headplate features a central double-roundel flanked by single roundels. The deep carinated bow develops to a long, lozengiform footplate with two double-roundels flanked by more single roundels and a row of three across the finial. The spring-lug and remains of the iron pin are present on the reverse; the attachment point for the ctachplate is visible. Reference: MacGregor, A. & Bolick, E.
