Description: | One of two Anglo-Saxon cast copper alloy button brooches. Button brooches are circular in shape and resemble miniature saucer brooches, although the relationship between these two brooch classes is not clear. The measurements for this example are unknown. The brooch is presumably decorated with a face mask motif, however the exact form is unknown, thus it cannot be attributed to an Avent and Evison classification. It is unknown if the brooch has an upturned rim or any additional decoration, such as punchmarks or beading. The amount of gilt, if any, on the face of the brooch is also unknown. The details of the reverse of the brooch were not recorded. Button brooches usually had an iron pin attached, however some examples had a copper alloy pin. It is unknown what material was used to construct the pin for this example. | 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: | 450
