Description: | The brooch is a pelta shape, very bowed with some red and yellow enamel remaining in the corroded cells. The cells around the curved outer edge are triangular, moving inwards there are 3 further bands of cells which are square followed by half-circle, followed by a further band of triangles. When viewed holding obverse facing with crescentic edge upwards, there are two further cells visible on the centre line a lozenge above a square. When viewed in this position, the right hand side finial lobe of the of the pelta is broken off and missing. On the reverse, the catchplate is only partially complete, the pin and axis bar are missing and the double pin bar lugs are badly corroded. The chain loop has been broken off and is missing, and the outer edge shows no sign of lugs. On the reverse, crescent upwards, there is severe cracking running from the right hand arch of the pelta inwards | 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
