Description: | An unusual circular brooch. The obverse consists of a central circular plate with applied decoration in the form of 3 bars with curled ends placed backs towards the centre and curls outermost. Within the triangular cell thus created in the centre of the plate, and two of the 'curls' there remains a small amount of blue-green enamel infill. Surrounding the plate are a border of heavy moulded 'beads', these appear to have been cast in one with the plate section, but are of much thicker construction, producing a reverse with a central circular 'hollow'. The fixing arrangements also appear to have been cast in one with the rest of the brooch, and consist of a complete heavy loop at one side and an incomplete loop at the other, both are quite crude. A small semi-circular piece of copper-alloy which may have been a loop from a chain was found with the brooch. | 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 | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Rhiannon Harte | Identifier: | http://www.finds.org.uk/database/artefac... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | text/html | Go to resource |
