Description: | Copper alloy enamelled conical disc brooch. Missing pin, all marginal lugs and much of the outer edge. Pin hinged on two close set lugs. There is an abraded central knob with 16 radiating traingular enamelled cells. The surviving enamel colours are alternately mid blue and yellow (4 of each) but each alternates with an empty or decayed cell - presumably either 8 cells of one other colour or 4 cells of two more colours. Surviving diameter 28mm, plate height 11mm. Type as Hattatt no. 1063 (which has two alternate colours). Examples from Suffolk include Charsfield (CHA 011) and Baylham (BAY 015) - the latter has a similar three colour arrangement with 8 cells described as "brown". | 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: | 100
