Description: | The estcutcheon is sub-circular in plan. The upper edge is abraded and a small fragment of the edge forms a lip.
The outer surface is slightly convex, whereas the reverse is slightly concave. The reverse has traces of a grey coloured material possibly the remains of soldering.
The outer surface is decorated. The design is set within a circle. At the centre is a circular ring, with teh centre of it filled with enamel. In the field the decoration is formed by three outlines which are formed by a zig-zag design. Each form is symetrical. The outline is formed by high-relief copper alloy which appears to have been tinned or silvered. In the low relief areas there is enamel.
The enamel is now a light green colour, but was probably originally red, and has since broken down.
The surface of the object has a well developed blue/green patina. | Subjects: | Escutcheon | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
