The back of the brooch

The Harford Farm Brooch is a 7th-century Anglo-Saxon disk brooch.[1] The brooch was originally made in Kent and was found along with a number of other artifacts during an excavation of an Anglo-Saxon cemetery at Harford Farm in Norfolk.[1][2][3] The brooch measures Шаблон:Convert across[3] and was found in grave 11.[4] The front of the brooch is gold decorated with glass and garnets while the backplate is silver.[5] On the back of the brooch there is a runic inscription reading "ᛚᚢᛞᚪ:ᚷᛁᛒᛟᛏᚫᛋᛁᚷᛁᛚᚫ" (luda:gibœtæsigilæ), which Norfolk Museums & Archaeology Service translates as “Luda repaired the brooch”; however “may Luda make amends by means of the brooch” has been offered as a translation by Alfred Bammesberger in the journal Neophilologus.[6] In addition to the runes, the back of the brooch also has a scratched zoomorphic decoration.[7]

The brooch is now on display at Norwich Castle.[2]
