The Two Main Types of Enameled, Lobed Brooches
SAUNDERTON Type (Saunderton, Bucks) and COLCHESTER Type (Colchester, Essex)
On the website Portable Antiquities Scheme the following "Class" and "Sub classes" are used to describe many of the Copper-gilt disk-brooches with a cloisonne enamel centrepiece.
Anglo-Saxon enameled brooches:
Class: cloisonné enamelled (Weetch Type 20)
Sub class: Saunderton type (Weetch Type 20.A) [example: 1 or 2] <with Lobes>
or
Sub class: Colchester type(Weetch Type 20.B) [example: 1 or 2] <without Lobes, either beaded wire or flange, etc.>

Late 10- and 11-century Cloisonne Enamel Brooches (11-page, PDF) **********
by David Buckton. [Buckton 1986]
"Translucent dark blue glass on a copper base is also found in two cloisonne enamel disks which have diameters within the parameters of the enamel disks set in brooches of both the Saunderton (Saunderton, Bucks) and Colchester (Colchester, Essex) type (16,5-28.0 mm) and which were therefore probably once the centrepieces of such brooches: "
"#1 Copper-gilt disk-brooch with seven lobes and cloisonne enamel centrepiece, from Saunderton, Bucks. 3 Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire County Museum, 84.1985. (Figs. I and 2, I; PI. III, I) "
"#8 Copper-gilt disk-brooch with flange and cloisonne enamel centrepiece, from Colchester. 13 London, British Museum, Medieval and Later Antiquities 70,4-2,59 (Pollexfen collection). (Figs. 3 and 4, 8; PI. IV, 8)"
"Laura Burnett adds that brooch of this type are called Saunderton type, and it is the most common type found in Britain, though there is a lot of variety in the design and the number of lobes." [SOURCE; Unique ID: SWYOR-829E3F; also info. here Europeana Collection]

"This brooch is parallelled by an example from Walpole St Peter (Ashley and Rogerson 1994) bearing a flower of five petals. There is no close parallel for the pattern in Buckton (1986). Late 10th to 11th century."
Unique ID: SUR-E2A8E7
"This is the first brooch of its type known to have been found in Surrey. Other examples come from Buckinghamshire, Cambridgeshire, Bedfordshire, Essex, Kent, Lincolnshire, London and Suffolk. They are thought to have been of insular workmanship. Similar examples on this Database include LIN-629513 and SF-0D8DC2. Another similar example is SUSS-02A267."
Unique ID: SUSS-02A267
"This brooch is related to a group found across south and east England which have a variety of cross-like and floral motifs. See ESS-0A8B65, SWYOR-4834F1 and SUSS-42B305 for example. Interestingly SUSS-577951 from Plumpton, about 11 kms away as the crow flies, has a seemingly identical design scheme to this example which might suggest a local origin. Another similar example is SUR-E2A8E7."
Unique ID: SF-A6AB3C
"Saunderton-type brooches within Britain have a distinctly East-Anglian distribution, though a number have also been recorded from central and south-eastern England. Other pieces of this type are also known from Danish contexts (Buckton 1986)."
Brooches with step-pyramid cells:
Unique ID: WMID-0074DA
"Another example with a very similar design has been recorded on the PAS database (LIN-629513). Other parallels include WMID-BD69AD and SWYOR-829E3F. Further information on cloisonné enamel brooches can be found in Buckton (1986)."
Unique ID: LIN-629513
"This brooch has been published in Hammond (2013, 33; fig. 1.1.1-k), but with an erroneous Wiltshire find location."
Anglo-Saxon 'Saltire' Enamelled Disc Brooch 018110 [Unique ID: LIN-629513]
Late Anglo-Saxon/Viking 'Saltire' Enamelled Disc Brooch
"
Copper-alloy, 6.36 grams, 24.59 mm. 10th-11th century AD. A late Anglo-Saxon disc brooch comprising a central enamel disc within a copper-alloy collet, surrounded by seven satellite lobes each with a domed cabochon insert. The enamel panel is constructed as a dark blue saltire with corrugated edges against quadrants of navy blue and turquoise. The attachment points for the pin lug and catchplate are present on the reverse. Reference: West. S. A Corpus of Anglo-Saxon Finds From Suffolk, East Anglian Archaeology 84, Ipswich, 1998 p.126 fig.10(13) and 135 fig.117(6). Extremely fine condition and beautiful. Provenance: found Wiltshire, England."
Unique ID: WMID-BD69AD
"This brooch is similar in style to an example from Bramford, Suffolk, which is also circular with seven projecting edge lobes and cloisonné enamelling although it is arranged in a different geometric pattern (West 1998, 11, 126, fig 10, no 13). A couple of similar cloisonne brooches have been recorded on the PAS (Portable Antiquities Scheme) database, including SWYOR-4834F1 and SF-0D8DC2 .
XRF analysis of the brooch using a handheld XRF machine, has indicated that the back contains: Copper, Tin, Lead, Gold, Mercury, Iron. The green glass around the edge contained: Copper, Lead, Tin. Unreliable results were obtained from the green, blue and white glass in the middle, but did contain copper, iron and tin."

"Saunderton-type brooches within Britain have a distinctly East-Anglian distribution, though a number have also been recorded from central and south-eastern England. Other pieces of this type are also known from Danish contexts (Buckton 1986)."
Brooches with Arch/Half-Circle Cells
Unique ID: LEIC-30B5F6 (This one does not have any lugs)
"The circular copper alloy base plate is in poor condition and has traces of a catchplate and pin attachment. the closest parallel for the decoration on the database are DENO-81F8D3 and SF-0D8DC2. These brooches date to the 10th and 11th Centuries."
Unique ID: DENO-81F8D3
"Compare NARC-C34DE6 and see West 1998, 85 & 235, fig. 117, no. 117.6; and West 1998, 93 & 243, fig. 125, no. 125.1. Also see Buckton 1986 for a discussion of these brooches."
Unique ID: SF-0D8DC2
"This brooch is similar in style to an example from Bramford, Suffolk, which is also circular with seven projecting edge lobes and cloisonne enamelling although it is arranged in a different geometric pattern (West 1998, 11, 126, fig 10, no 13)."

"This brooch has the same decorative motifs as these similar examples SUSS-02A267, SUR-85A2A1, SUR-E2A8E7."
Unique ID: BERK-B43E92
"Another brooch with similar deisgn is SF-D87CCA on this database. Similar brooches can be seen in Buckton 'Late 10th- and 11th-century cloisonne enamel brooches' in Medieval Archaeology (1986) Volume 30. Robert Webley notes that brooches of this type are called Saunderton type, and it is the most common type found in Britain, though there is a lot of variety in the design and the number of lobes."
Unique ID: SF-D87CCA
"This is an incomplete late Early-Medieval cloisonne brooch (cf. Buckton 1986; NLM-857195 etc.). It is of probable 10th-11th century AD date. The design can be compared to an example illustrated in Hammond (2014, 34; fig. 1.1.1-p )."

"This style of brooch is a copy of a 2nd century Roman type (see Hattatt 1987 No.1055)."
Unique ID: KENT-714191 *****
"Despite the design of the decoration employed on this brooch resembling that featured on similar brooches in the Roman period, the use of cloisonné rather than champlevé shows this example is Saxon."

"Cf. Buckton Med. Arch.30, fig.2 no.7 for similar but eight-pointed example. Late 10th/11th century. POL. PHOTO. SLIDE."
Unique ID: NLM-857195
"This is a well preserved Late Saxon brooch form, of which several examples are displayed at North Lincolnshire Museum; from Swallow, Horkstow and Elsham. See Buckton 1986 for a discussion of the type. The quality of cloisonné work falls short of that of earlier garnet settings. The effect of the polychrome enamel and stones is immediately striking, but the survival of the delicate wire pin is perhaps as important and must argue an essentially decorative function for this light piece - it could not have functioned as a dress fastener. The 12th-century text ascribed to the monk Theophilus includes an early reference to the use of a perforated plate for drawing wire, but this earlier object must also have been equipped with a pin made in this way. Early Medieval, 950-1050."
Unique ID: CAM-E03742
"See Buckton 1986 for a discussion of cloisonné enamel brooches; also see parallels on the PAS database, for example NLM-857195, NARC-C34DE6, HAMP-476AD1 and BERK-5B0275."

Roman Brooches / Fibulae
Unique ID: BERK-1093A4
"A 2nd Century AD Roman umbonate brooch. The brooch has several triangular cells of alternating blue and black enamel that narrow towards the peak of the conical obverse. On the outside edges of the brooch are seven knops, each with a central mount point for either stones or enamel (none of which survives). A loop (probably a chain loop) survives intact, suggesting this brooch was one of a pair used to hold and fasten a garment such as a cloak. The pin and iron rivet on the reverse survive but part of the catchplate is broken and missing. This brooch is in excellent condition and is identical to Hattatt type 1063. The umbonate brooch is 48.15mm diameter with a depth of 14.28mm. It weighs 19.43gms."
