The Silver Brooch of Aedwen

The British Museum is home to many treasures, including this, the Brooch of Aedwen. It is one of only two of this style found in the UK, and is dated to the Anglo-Saxon period. What makes this special though, is the curse, and cryptic rune etching on the back of the disc. It would seem that the curse may have worked!
