Anglo-Saxon (Ascribed culture)
A re-used copper-alloy pin head that has been altered into a brooch. Circular in form and decorated with a cruciform design with spirals in each quadrant. It is pierced where the pin shaft was porbably originally attached. It has subsequently had a catch plate added which is intact and there is evidence on the reverse for where the pin mechanism would have been.
