Description: | A cast copper alloy gilded oval plate brooch. The brooch has a central raised oval boss, which has raised sides. This boss would once have held a stone but this has now been lost and the setting remains empty. Around the boss is a flat rim, which has been decorated (around the edge) with a series of square cells, inside each cell in a cross. The reverse is flat and has been tinned or possibly silvered. Part of the catchplate and lug remain on the reverse but they are heavily worn.
The metal is a mid brownish-green colour. This type of brooch dates from the 2nd - 3rd century AD. This brooch is similar to examples in Hattatt, 2000, pp365, Fig. 224. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Andrews-Wilson, Liz - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
