Description: | Copper alloy enamelled disc brooch. Circular brooch with three peripheral lugs and a chain loop. Two smaller lugs placed opposite each other on the edge of the plate. They have convex fronts. The larger lug is opposite the chain loop and has a rounded knop on its end. The umbonate boss is decorated with red and blue enamel. There is a raised band of copper alloy framing the area of enamel decoration. The decoration is in the form of a copper alloy outlined quatrefoil with copper alloy pellet between the foils. The foils are infilled with blue enamel and the field around is red. In the quatrefoil is a copper alloy lozenge/star with incurved sides, the four points of which project into the foils. The back is concave. A hinged pin is fixed behind and below the chain loop on an axis bar fixed to two round ended copper alloy plates. There is a small catchplate behind the larger of the three lugs, opposite the hinge point. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
