Ornate Saxon copper brooch intricately decorated with gold and garnets, 7 cm diameter. AD 600s.
Found in a woman’s grave during excavations in Floral Street, Covent Garden, once in the heart of ‘Lundenwic’, the early Saxon town of London.

It was surely a very cherished piece when worn. I'd like to think it was made especially for her and then given with love.
Tysm for letting me.
