Description: | Copper alloy brooch. Missing pin, damaged and bent head, hole in main body. The pin was hinged between two close set lugs. The head (in front of and above the hinge lugs) is a crescent shape with traces of enamel, now a dark yellow colour. This joins a triangular main body which has three moulded steps up to a central triangle now missing its enamel. There is notching on some of the angles, and the stub of a side knob at the base of the triangle. The hollow back is hemispherical. The base of the triangle tapers sharply with a convex face to the footknob which projects forwards and has a small circular setting now containing pale paste or enamel residue. Surviving length 31mm, max surviving width 17mm. The terminals are as Riha (1979) nos. 1686 and 1687 and the central part is comparable to Hattatt no. 1612 and lozenge types such as Hattatt nos. 569, 1087. | Subjects: | Composite (Hattatt) | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Plouviez, Judith | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
