Description: | Cast copper alloy enamelled disc brooch. The brooch is symmetrical, flat, circular and has a narrow metal rim. In the centre of the face there is a metal pellet, and a sexfoil with pelleted angles surrounding it. The field inside the sexfoil contains red enamel, whereas the field outside contains a degraded dark coloured enamel, perhaps once black or dark brown. There is a single lug for a hinged pin on the reverse, and a catchplate at the opposite end. The pin is missing.Symmetrical enamelled disc brooches such as this one are thought to be continental imports, probably from the Rhineland (Bailey, p176).Probably the partner to LIN-929812.
