Description: | Copper-alloy annular brooch. The display surface of the ring is divided into six segments. These have rounded surfaces and are separated by four hollow oval cells and the pin knob and recess (see below). It is likely that the cells, or collets, originally held decorative glass or enamel insets. No pin exists, but evidence for one consists of a square recess, around which the pin was originally wrapped and, directly opposite, a raised knob on which the tip of the pin would have sat. A hole exists in the base of one of the cells, although this is probably due to post-depositional erosion. The ring has also been slightly bent, again probably after deposition. The reverse of the object is flat and plain. Measures 28mm diameter, by a maximum of 3.9mm thick. Weight = 3.68g. Deevy class 6a (see ref). | Subjects: | Annular | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
