Description: | Only the terminal of the footplate remains. The upper edge of the footplate is broken, but not recently. The terminal of the footplate is an elongated trapezoidal shape in plan, which in profile is slightly curved with the outer surface being convex. The lower edge of the footplate has a slight semi-circular moulded protruding from the edge. This portion of the brooch is decorated with wide high-relief borders, and a central vertical ridge which stops before the lower edge. Instead here there are two sub-lozenge shaped platforms instead. The surfaces of the object are encrusted so any traces of surface treatment is not visible. The footplate is 3.7mm thick at the lower edge, which appears to be thicker than other examples. The decoration has been cast. | 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: | 500
