Description: | 'Cogwheel' brooch, basically circular in outline with a zigzag edge comprising 18 V-shaped projections. Within the zigzag edge there is a grooved border, and then there are four roughly D-shaped perforations forming a cross shape. At the centre of the cross is a raised boss with a lozenge-shaped groove around, and a groove runs from each corner of the lozenge along each of the arms of the cross to meet (or nearly meet) the border. Each arm of the cross is expanded to accommodate two small round bosses at the terminal. There could have been much more decorative detail than this originally, as on some others of this brooch type, but this one is very corroded and worn. On the reverse are the stubs of a single transverse pin lug, with some iron corrosion, and a broken-off catchplate. Diameter 27-28 mm. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
