Description: | Lead alloy Brooch. It is circular with a diameter of 28.66mm, a thickness of 2.02mm and weighs 5.73g. It is decorated with two hearts,formed from moulded raised lines, one crossed over the other, so that the two points of the hearts are opposite and form a central lozenge shape. The resulting pattern has divided portions that then enclose raised dots. This central design is surrounded by a border of raised dots, divided from the design by a circular raised line. The back is plain (with no pin bar lugs or catchplate). A casting seam runs diametrically on the reverse, with a raised stub, that may be part of a fitting or simply an accident of the casting. This badge does not appear to have an obvious religious connotation. It probably dates to the 14th/15th century. | 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: | 1300
