Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy circular mount; in the same design as a plate brooch. This mount is circular and flat. It has been decorated with a star-like design with six spokes and a central pellet. The enamelled surfaces infill the cells. Inside the star is red, while the enamelled areas outside the star have corroded away. The mount is heavily worn and corroded. The reverse is badly corroded but the stump of the means of attachment can be seen, it has a square section. This type of mount probably dates from the 2nd century AD. It is similar to examples of brooches in Hattatt, 2000, p345. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Andrews-Wilson, Liz - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
