Description: | Copper alloy enamelled disc brooch (Hattatt's "umbonate" group). Missing most of pin, damaged chain loop, some enamel missing and most of it degraded. The pin is hinged between two close set lugs. The central area is domed (and hollow behind) with a centre dot and ring and two rows of enamelled triangles (10 and 12) in alternate blue and a degraded yellow-brown colour (was this originally yellow or perhaps red?). A deep concentric groove marks the junction with the flat border, on which there is a narrow band of 19 triangles, again alternating blue and ?yellow. The outer edge has a cogwheel effect with 26 small projections and a chain loop above the hinge and a projection with a peltate shape containing ?yellow enamel over the catchplate. Length at chain loop 41.5mm, diameter elsewhere 35mm, plate height 9mm. Similar to Hattatt no.536 (but reversed head/foot and variations in the numbers of triangles) and to an eg from Layham, Suffolk (LYM 005). | Subjects: | enamelled disc | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
