Description: | Cast copper-alloy domed plate brooch. Circular, with the remains of a ?loop at the head and a lug at the foot, with a rounded end, and four smaller rounded lugs on either side; only two of which are complete. At the centre is a circular recess, enclosed by an equal-armed lozenge with slightly concave sides. This is surrounded by a concentric band of narrow triangles, which in turn are surrounded by a band of larger triangles. The plain outer border has a slight ridge along its inner edge. Only the recessed areas between the central band of triangles retains its original enamel setting, which is dark blue and survives in all cells. No enamel survives in the central circular recess, the area around the lozenge nor in the outer band of triangular recesses. There are traces of ?green enamel within the foot knop. The missing pin is hinged between two pierced lugs and is secured by a copper-alloy axis bar. The edges of the catchplate are damaged. Pale green and black patina. | Subjects: | Plate | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Worrell, Sally - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
