Description: | A domed 'stud' like object made by looping different widths of silver wire around a central shank which protrudes slightly from the top of the 'dome' creating a central focus around which other wire loops have been arranged; fanning out from the centre there is a circle of loops made from wire approximately 1/3 the size of the central shank, around this are 6 'petals' each created from a single loop of wire approximately 1/2 the size of the central shank surrounded by an oval of much thinner wire; below this area is a 'border' of loops about 1/3 the size of the shank, underneath which the wire which was used to create the petal centres seems to reappear; the underside of the 'dome' is finished off with a mass of circles and interlaced very thin wire around the shank which protrudes approximately 15mm and ends in a single oval loop. The object is very finely worked. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
