The saucer brooch was one of the commonest types of brooches used by Anglo-Saxon women, usually occurring in matched pairs on the chest. This typology extends in time from the 5th to the late 6th century, especially diffused south of the Humber and East of the Severn, with a concentration in the south Midlands and Upper Thames Valley. -
