Description: | Copper alloy equal-ended plate brooch, measuring 55.93mm long, 24.45mm wide, and with a maximum thickness of 4.62 mm. It has a green patina, and is in good condition, though most of the enamelling has been lost, and the pin is absent. It consists of a central cicular field, inside which are raised, moulded concentric rings, and beyond which lie symmetrical, ornate, lunate terminals. The type is not common, but has a wide distribution. Hattatt (1985) lists close parallels from Roman Syria, Northumberland, the Rhineland, East Anglia, Richborough, and Colchester, some of which preserve a distinctive 'fish' shaped central mount. Such a feature is not evident on the present example. | Subjects: | Plate | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Ashby, Steven - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
