Description: | Copper alloy enamelled equal-ended brooch. Complete except for part of pin and some marginal damage. Pin is hinged between 2 close set lugs. Flat trefoil terminals have punched double ring on each lobe and in centre. Main plate is slightly stepped up from terminals, and consists of a squashed rectangle with crescent on each side shape. Enamel in the central panel is a pale discoloured - ? originally white - , possibly with 2 spots of another colour now lost; that in the two crescents is now a darker yellowish-green. Length 41mm, width 17mm. This example is a variant on the numerous (Continental) examples of this type - the terminals comparable to Hattatt nos. 559 and 1595 and Riha 1979 no 1663, the central shape partially similar to Hattatt no 1592. | 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
