The Anglo-Saxon brooch with dots from the 8th century AD is a circular brooch used to fasten clothing. Made from bronze or silver, it is decorated with small, evenly spaced dots. These dots may have had meaning or just added to its appearance. However, the brooch was both useful and decorative, showing the wearer’s status. Its style shows a mix of Anglo-Saxon and European design influences.
