Description: | Elaborate copper alloy enamelled disc brooch. The brooch is circular, flat and has seven integral lugs out of twelve remaining. The surface of the brooch is elaborately decorated using a circular rib in the centre, and an elaborate rib surrounding it. This rib is wavey with each inner curve terminating with a moulded pellet. A narrow semi-circular band loops from and to each pellet, with the outer extremety of the loop touching the inner circle. This leaves an outer recessed band containing blue enamel, and an inner band now void of enamel. This inner band is therefore subdivided into smaller semi-circular cells as enclosed by the loops, however no enamel survives in any cells, nor does it in the central cell. The reverse is covered with a thick iron corrosion. The pin and catchplate are missing.
The decoration is similar to some rosette-sunburst designs found on Umbonate brooches. | Subjects: | Disc | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Daubney, Adam - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
