Applied brooches look like saucer brooches but were made of separate plates of bronze. The decoration was fixed onto a plain metal back plate, like to one in the picture. This means these brooches often fallen apart when excavated. |
| These brooches, like most others, were worn in pairs and appear to have been in fashion from the early fifth to the sixth centuries. |  |
