The Bredfield brooch is an Anglo-Scandinavian brooch found in Suffolk, it is made from solid silver and decorated with a central cross surrounded by beasts in the Urnes style which developed in the second half of the 11th century. The object, which would certainly have been made for a member of the elite, is intricately decorated; in each of its four quarters, highly stylised creatures appear with long, sinuous bodies, oval-shaped eyes, snouts, tongues, and perhaps forked tails or feet.
10.5cm in diameter and only available in silver.
