Description: | Copper alloy disc brooch. Missing part spring and pin. Gilded on the top, white metal on the base including the catchplate and spring lug. The spring is held on a single pierced lug, with an iron axis bar. The back of the plate is flat, and the central rivetted element shows slightly proud. The front of the centre rivet has a knob terminal (diam 3.6mm) above a groove, and expands to 6.5mm at the base over the spoked ring which it holds in place. The six "spokes" are oval shaped with a concave upper face and point downwards, almost touching the plate. The plate has a flat outer band defined by ribs which contains a line of punched triangles c. 0.5mm across; inside this there is a slightly hollowed band behind the spokes. Diameter 23mm, height of plate with knob 12mm. This is a fairly uncommon British type; Hattatt maps 12 egs; the present example has similar features to Hattatt nos 1216 and 1645. | 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: | 200
