Description: | Copper alloy brooch fragment, lozenge shaped enamelled type with hinged head. Missing lower bow, pin, damaged head; bent (flattened); very corroded and appears to have been over-cleaned. The central lozenge contains four circles with enamel inside which is now discoloured very dark. The enamel in the background cross-shaped area is variously discoloured to very dark and dark red; tiny fragments of matt orange may be the original colour which is common on this class of brooch. Surviving length 32mm, lozenge width 21mm. The type is as Hattatt no 1553 but the four circle design is not paralleled in Hattatt or locally recorded examples. | 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
