Description: | A cast copper alloy Anglo Saxon button brooch with gilding 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 sub-triangular eyes, T shaped nose and eyebrows and pointed helmet. 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 top is broken off. The tip of the catch plate is broken. All the breaks are worn. The pin lug and the catchplate 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 |
