Description: | Copper alloy brooch, enamelled hinge headed type. Missing lower bow; pin bent and incomplete; some surface damage. The head is plain; the bow is a flat lozenge shaped plate (22.5mm wide, 2mm thick) with an angled 9mm wide piece joining to the head, on which there are transverse mouldings. The lozenge is divided into two concentric cells; no enamel survives in the outer area but the inner one contains orange and may have had a central circle of anothe colour within it. There are traces of a single groove in the outer edge. Width (head) 17.4mm, surviving length 26mm. Similar to Hattatt no 1553 but that eg lacks an outer band of enamel and the moulded piece linking head and centre plate is tapered rather than parallel sided.
