Description: | Copper alloy enamelled brooch, Hattatt's 'Umbonate with rounded cells' type. Missing pin and some enamel. The pin was hinged between two close set lugs; iron remains in the gap, probably from either the hinge bar or the pin. Conical central area with central knob, four petal-shaped cells containing discoloured pale green enamel (probably originally turquoise as outer ring) and red background cells. Separated from the outer ring by a deep groove. The outer ring has eleven parabola shaped cells containing traces of turquoise / light blue enamel and red enamel in the triangular cells behind. A chain loop at the head is beyond the spring lugs, the catchplate is behind a flat circular projection with an off centre inner circle cell (neither this nor outer ring have surviving enamel). Six small side knobs emphasize the slightly octagonal outline. Length 40mm, diam between knobs 27mm, plate height 7mm. As Hattatt no. 130, also an eg from Pakenham, Suffolk (PKM 005 2340). | Subjects: | Enamelled disc (Umbonate) | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Plouviez, Judith | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
