Description: | Copper alloy brooch fragment, half only, missing pin. Pin was hinged between two close set lugs behind the terminal knob. Lozenge shaped plate is slightly bowed and has a transverse notched rib and notching on a slight crest and a central band with decorated panels - the outer panels have 4-petal motifs, the central one has two pairs of angled lines, all probably originally containing niello but now mostly whitish corrosion. Traces of white metal over the whole face. Surviving length 23mm, width 29mm. Type broadly as Hattatt no 1114 (commoner variant with punched circles); a very similar example from SSA 004 lacks the central panel detail. | 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
