Very nice! And a warm welcome! This is a disc brooch with a central glass flux and seven pits (Bos (2007/2008) type 2.3.1.8). However, brooches with a central glass flux were not enameled. A perfect comparison can be found here: VT-H43GF9M5. A similar type with preserved glass flux can be found here: VT-VP9M98E4. Disc brooches, also commonly called "wheel fibula," are available with 6, 7, or 8 unperforated pits or holes. The Bos type definition is therefore much clearer and should be used.
