Description: | A fragment from a medieval brooch consisting of two differently sized collets separated by foliate decoration. The smaller collet measures 4mm in height and the larger stands 9mm high. Both would originally have been set with gems which are now lost, although the white paste used to fix them survives. An elaborate, gold brooch of similar construction, which uses an alternating sequence of garnets and sapphires, survives in Manchester City Art Gallery (1977.168: see J Alexander and P Binski, Age of Chivalry (Royal Academy, 1987), cat. no. 651, p.485). | 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: | Daniel Pett | Identifier: | http://www.finds.org.uk/database/artefac... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | text/html | Go to resource |
