Description: | Incomplete cast copper alloy two-stepped lozenge shaped plate brooch with a raised central circular boss which is hollow on the underside. Part of the plate is missing; the pin is also missing. Length 30mm, width 20mm and 6.5mm thick. The boss is also two-stepped and has a slightly protruding rim, creating a shallow cell, possibly to accommodate enamel. The cell is 7mm in diameter and small circular recess is situated at its centre. Around the junction of each step of the lozenge plate and the circular boss are regularly spaced indentations giving a knurled appearance. Within the inner lozenge, above and below the circular boss, are three punched ring and dot motifs. Striations around the inside of the hollow rear indicate, perhaps, that the hollow was created with the use of a lathe. This lathe work may have been carried out on the mould rather than on the brooch. At the rear, two incomplete close set perforated lugs for the pin and most of the catchplate survive. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
