Description: | Cast copper alloy fragment of a T-shaped brooch consisting of a solid cast bow, the lower section of which is missing, semi-tubular wings, the lower portion of a cast chain loop situated above the wings, and an incomplete cast hinged pin. The foot and catchplate are missing. The upper part of the bow is formed by a trapezoidal plate (Length 17.4. Width 11.1-9.7mm) with a plain raised border. Within the plate five lozenges are arranged longitudinally, each with a plain raised border forming recesses for enamel. The lowermost lozenge retains some of its blue enamel. Beneath the plate the bow narrows to 8.4mm then continues with three raised transverse D-shaped ridges, of which the central ridge is very prominent. The upper and lower ridges are c. 1mm in height while the middle ridge is c. 4mm in height. The upper ridge is 9.3mm in width while the middle ridge is 10.9mm in width. The lower ridge is damaged. The ends of the wings are decorated with two incised vertical lines on the front section. Dull dark patina with patches of mid-green. Similar to an example in Hattatt 1982. | Subjects: | Enamelled Type T-Shaped | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
