Description: | Copper alloy enamelled brooch fragment, rectangular plate type. Central plate only, very abraded. At both narrow ends the plate folds down and narrows; on one end there is the possible stub of a pair of lugs for the pin hinge. The face has a central groove with a reserved wavy line and possible traces of discoloured enamel. On each side a row of five small (1.7mm across) squares contain traces of enamel, which is red in one at each end and one central (so may have alternated with another colour). There are further single grooves along the edges. Surviving length 25mm, width 14mm. This is probably an equal ended type comparable to Hattatt 1598 (or the type with projections as 1599?) but it is possible that there was a hinged head - and the pattern of small sqare enamel cells is found on this type at Augst (Riha 1979, nos 1382-1384)
