Description: | Disc brooch. The object is flat and does not appear to have had projections coming off of the sides, though the outer edges are missing and damaged. The decoration will be described from the outside, in. There is a narrow band of metal enclosing a band of inset green glass. The next feature is another band of metal which encloses a central cruciform design. This cruciform shape is filled with the same green glass as the band before it, and each of the flared arms of the cross design share are bordered by the inner metal band. The spaces between the arms of the cross are filled by red enamel; these spaces are semi-circular, and the midsection of the semi-circle meets the inner metal band. There are some small traces of either silver gilding or tinning. The reverse of the object shows evidence of a hinge pin and the remains of a catchplate. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
