Description: | Incomplete cast copper alloy button brooch with up-turned rim. Moulded anthropomorphic face-mask decoration comprising a pointed helmet, a straight line for the nose; the eyes consist of rudimentary dots and eye-rings, with a second concentric ring for the cheeks; a double-loop beneath the nose represents the mouth or perhaps a moustache. The face-mask is set within a raised double circular border. There is evidence of gilding on the upper surface. The reverse is generally flat. No evidence of a pin or catchplate, however there is a circular perforation piercing the brooch between the rim and the outer decorative border to the right of the face-mask at three o’clock. A section of the rim and the area between the rim and the outer decorative border is missing. Much of the patina on the reverse is missing. Probably of Avent and Evison Class Bii. | Subjects: | Button | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
