Description: | Copper alloy brooch, equal ended lozenge shaped type, originally enamelled. Missing pin, damaged catchplate; abraded/corroded margins. The pin was hinged between two close set lugs. The central lozenge is stepped up from the terminals. The terminals are flat backed with with moulded bead and ribs at the front - that in front of the hinge is shorter, but this may be wear. The central lozenge is flat backed, c.1.5mm thick, with a notched border and a plain band around the empty lozenge shaped cell. There is no sign of side knobs (unlike Hattatt no 1094). Length 33mm, width (central) 16mm. Similar features to Hattatt 1094 (except for side knobs), Bayley & Butcher 2004, 177, T227 (but this eg has a stepped centre with hollowed back) and Riha (1979) no.1660 (but this has zoomorphic terminals). Possibly Continental. | Subjects: | equal ended | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Plouviez, Judith | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
