Description: | Cast copper alloy button brooch with up-turned rim. Moulded anthropomorphic face-mask decoration comprising a fairly rounded helmet, a straight line for the eyebrows which forms a T with the nose, and a nose which flares slightly at the nostrils. The eyes are small and round and have curved eye-rings underneath them. The cheeks are rounded and well defined. The mouth is also well defined. The face-mask is set within a raised circular border. Much of the gilding on the upper surface survives. The remains of the catchplate and hinge, together with considerable iron corrosion, survive on the reverse, and are arranged in a lateral alignment with the face-mask. The reverse is otherwise generally flat. The rim angle is approximately 70 degrees. Probably of Avent and Evison Class Bi. | 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: | 400
