Description: | A cast copper alloy Anglo Saxon class C button brooch with gilding surviving on the front of the brooch. The brooch depicts an incised circle, just inside the rim. Inside the circle there is a depiction of some sort of head. The head depicts a face with triangular eyes, nose and eyebrows and pointed helmet formed by incised lines. The reverse is undecorated, but the broken remains of the pin lug and the catch plate survive. The pin lug is a single lug, with a hole through the centre. The tip of the catch plate is broken. All the breaks are worn. The pin lug and the catch plate have been arranged in a longitudinal alignment. No pin survives. The brooch is otherwise complete. The metal appears a little worn and corroded. The artefact is generally a mid brownish-green colour. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Andrews-Wilson, Liz - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
