Description: | Copper alloy annular brooch with a decorated frame. The frame is robust and is bevelled so that two surfaces would be visible when the brooch was worn. The visible surfaces are decorated with alternate moulded X-shapes and rectangular motifs. The reverse is undecorated and also bevelled. The frame is constricted for the pin. The copper alloy pin is intact (L. 16.5mm). The pin is formed by a loop which encircles the frame constriction, an oval collar which rests close to the inside edge of the brooch when the pin is positioned as if being worn, and the main shaft of the pin which tapers to a point and is generally circular in section. There are traces of gilding in the visible surfaces and the pin. Patchy reddish-brown and mid-green patina. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Williams, David W - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
