Description: | Enamelled oval plate brooch. Missing central setting, most of the enamel and pin; damaged catchplate. The spring survives, held on a single lug. The stub of the catchplate appears to be set transversely and is 5mm wide. The outer, enamelled, band contains traces of turquoise blue, probably continuous rather than segments of other colours. Diameters 31mm x 27mm, plate 2.5mm thick. Type as Hattatt 1207-1209 (particularly 1209, Bury St Edmunds area, which appears to have a similar catchplate (not described) and is larger than usual), which had an intaglio type central setting. Also an e.g. from Gt. Wratting with transverse lug and large size. See Also find sf 2416 from this findspot which is probably part of the centre of the same brooch - there is a slight solder ridge on the inner copper alloy band into which sf2416 fits. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
