Description: | Lozenge-shaped plate brooch with concave sides. Each of the four arms tapers and terminates in a rounded lug (one missing). Elaborate decoration on the upper surface consists of a central horizontal panel subdivided into three sections, separated by a narrow vertical moulding with horizontal incisions. The central panel has four rectangular niello features, the other two panels have four niello lozenges each. There are two slightly raised horizontal mouldings with vertical incisions either side of the horizontal panel. A further horizontal moulding close to the terminal lugs creates a further panel which has a vertical line of small circular punch marks down the centre, and traces of further decoration, now obscured. Further circular punch marks outline the panel areas. Traces of surface tinning survive within the panels. Short catchplate surviving. Copper-alloy pin, bent. Traces of iron corrosion at hinge. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 43
