Description: | A worn, damaged copper alloy, saucer brooch, decorated with seven raised spirals around a central boss. Parts of the upturned edge of the saucer do survive, and although no gilding is detectable, there are traces of a white material in the hollows of the pattern. Two small, bar shaped scars show where the pin fittings were placed. Similar brooches are catalogued in MacGregor & Bollick, who suggest a 5th - 6th date for these.
This brooch was found on two separate days by two detectorists, the second, two years after the first! This first half [left in the image], was recorded at the time [Sept 2000] with Reading Museum. | 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
