Title
Early-medieval brooch: Saucer brooch
Description
English: An incomplete cast copper alloy saucer brooch dating to the early Anglo-Saxon period. The saucer brooch is missing most of its upturned outer rim, but the central zoomorphic design and central raised stud are retained, as is the catchplate and the remains of the pin lug on the reverse, although the pin is now missing.

The relief-cast decoration consists of a circular panel of three animals in Salin's Style I. Each animal comprises an eye, two legs with clawed feet. This design is surrounded by a nicked border ridge and an upturned rim decorated with punched triangles. A cast circular disc-headed stud is riveted through the centre of the brooch, partly obscuring the decoration underneath; on the reverse, the rivet lies flush with the surface of the brooch.

Compare BERK-D4C6D2, another example with a separate central rivet.
