A very rare to find anglo saxon bronze chip carved disc brooch.
This item which dates to circa 7th century AD, is a rare item to find.
It would have been fastened to the shoulder or chest to secure a cloak all shawl.
It has a deep chip carved design to the upper surface in the form of tendrils and has a lush green patination to the bronze.
Some small amount nibbling to the edges as shown.
With some evidence of tining or silvering to the reverse but the catch plate and iron pin are sadly lost in antiquity.
Size 3.8 CM in dia
Norfolk excavations in the 1980s.
As with all of my antiquities and coins this item comes complete with a display box together with a certificate of authenticity.
