Description: | Cast copper alloy brooch. It comprises a disc or plate 25mm in diameter surrounded by seven projections or lugs (another is lost).The centre of the disc has four arms that curve towards the outer edge. The outer edge has a raised band 1mm wide. The reverse is plain and has the remains of the hinged pin and attachment at one edge. The date is uncertain, but similar brooches, in Read and Mills (see below) suggest either a Roman or early medieval date. These references both had an enamel or glass field, but any other material included in the make up of this brooch is now lost. | 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 | Identifier: | http://www.finds.org.uk/database/artefac... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | text/html | Go to resource |
