Description: | A copper alloy unidentified object probably of modern date. The object is circular and is decorated with yellow and white enamel in an abstract design that appears to have similarities to Art Deco style, particularly certain enamelled vases created by Camille Faure in the 1920s. The walls of the cells for the enamel are integral with the copper alloy base. Puzzlingly the design appears to continue off the edge of the object and the cells do not have end walls. However, there is no other evidence for the object being broken. The edge is solid and there are striations that run around the edge. It is possible that this piece was cut from a larger object. The object has a diameter of 15.6mm and is 3.2mm thick. The reverse is flat and undecorated. There is a mark in the centre which could be interpreted as the attachment for a loop to use the object as a button, but it is equally likely that this is just colour variation. The function of this object is unknown, and the date is not certain, but the acute angles of the design suggest a modern date. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Cooper, Amy - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
