Description: | A cast copper alloy 1st ?? 2nd century AD brooch. The brooch is enamelled.
The brooch comprises a triangle plate (now broken). The plate has been decorated with enamelling. Around the edge of the plate are two concentric lines (following the triangular shape) each decorated with incised lines. Inside this copper alloy wire has been used to draw out a number of cells. The cells are triangles, arranged in rows. Each cell has been alternately enamelled with either red or white enamel.
A moulded projection remains in situ, coming out from the flat edge of the triangular plate. On the reverse of this the remains of the catchplate can be seen.
The reverse of the brooch is undecorated.
The surface of the metal is slightly pitted and corroded. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Andrews-Wilson, Liz - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
