Description: | Copper alloy brooch fragment, lozenge-shaped plate type. Missing spring, pin, most of the lugs and abraded all round the margins. A trace survives of two close set lugs for the hinged pin. At the centre of the plate a four-pointed motif is made up from a "christmas tree" (triangle on a stem) stamp - probably originally enamelled but no trace survives of this. A pair of incised lines flank a hatched band around the edgeand at the top a transverse groove is probably the start of a projecting knob. Surviving length 26mm, surviving width 17mm, plate 1.6mm thick. A similar brooch from Withersfield (WTH 004) has a double border and the projecting knob at the top; the closest published eg found is Hattatt no 1580, which has "holly leaves" instead of the Xmas trees (!) , and a projecting knob at each corner. | 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: | 43
