Description: | Copper alloy brooch fragment, fantail type. Only the lower bow survives, and this is missing both bottom corners. The bow is flat backed, and narrow at the top break, with at least two transverse ribs immediately above a disc with small side knobsThe disc has a central setting, now empty, bounded by a small ridge, diam 8mm; the outer ring has a slight groove but is very abraded. The fantail foot is slightly thinner (2mm) than the disc. It is decorated with sharp V-section grooves parallel to the sides and angled in towards the centre base. The bottom edge has a slight rib along it. The catchplate stub behind the foot confirms that this is a brooch but it is not entirely classifiable - similar to disc on fantail types which have a headstud type head, but closer in detail of the discto Hattatt no. 819 which has Aesica related features. Surviving length 35mm | Subjects: | disc on fantail (?) | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Plouviez, Judith | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
