Description: | Cast copper-alloy circular disc brooch. Raised central border enclosing recess which would have held semi-precious stone or glass setting and small central raised circular moulding (the outer edge is damaged where the setting has been removed). Two further raised plain borders - one mid-way and one on the outer edge of the brooch, enclose two zones of moulded decoration in very low relief, consisting of a concentric band of conjoined 'X's' with vertical lines between each 'X'. The hinge, which is a pierced semi-circular lug, is intact, with trace of iron from axis bar. Pin missing. Raised flat band connecting the hinge with the deep catchplate. Much gilding survives on the upper surface and the reverse surface is white metal coated, most of which survives. Even, mid-green smooth patina. This is a very large and elaborately decorated example of the type. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
