Description: | This very simple brooch, almost effectively a buckle, consists of a wire ring 2.5mm broad and 2mm thick ( and therefore slightly flattened in section), with a neatly-formed pin 20mm long, 2mm in breadth and 2.5mm in thickness with a squared and ridged shoulder 4mm by 3mm, and an elongated loop 7mm long, 5mm broad and 1.5mm thick enclosing a circular hole 3mm in gauge. The overall length of the pin including loop and shoulder is therefore 28.5mm, and the diameter of the ring is 28mm. The ring is ornamented with barley-twist decoration over about one half of its circumference, this being perfectly distinguished from the remainder which is quite plain. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Plunkett, Tom - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
