Description: | A lead alloy brooch or badge probably dating from the medieval period. The brooch is circular in plan and has a diameter of 19.4mm and is 4.4mm thick. There is a central rib on the reverse and an integral pin or shank that extends from the top edge of the badge and is bent back parallel with the reverse. This is presumably a simple form of attachment. The face is decorated with a human face surrounded by a border of eleven ring and dots in a circular band. The face takes the form of two lentoid eyes, with dots for pupils, a slightly raised moulded, straight nose joined with the straight eyebrows and a simple straight line for the mouth. An almost identical example is recorded on the database as ESS-397B61 which was found in Essex. Another badge depicting a human face is YORYM-7FC646. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Cooper, Amy - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
