As well as the knops on the tips of the lozenge, there are circular knops in each quadrant between the four lozenge arms. These are filled with the remains of red enamel. On the reverse of the brooch there are the remains of a double pin bar lug and a small amount of the catchplate.
The brooch weighs 3.86g and measures 30.21mm in length, 26.9mm in width and 4.16mm in thickness. | Subjects: | Plate | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Marshall, Anna - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
