Description: | Incomplete (about half) copper alloy medieval annular brooch with a decorated frame. Diameter 30mm, width of frame 5mm, thickness just less than 1mm. The reverse is plain with signs of tooling. Part of it has a shiny patina (perhaps added recently?). This shiny patina is also present on the decorated side. One break is jagged while the other is across the axis bar, created by narrowing the width of the brooch. The decoration is punched, and around the outer edge, probably in long curving sections. They are about 1mm wide with tiny circles upstanding along them (caused by the area around them being punched). Meeting this at 11mm intervals is a C-shape with the same punched decoration, and creating the illusion of a pointed ovals end to end. On the incomplete brooch, three and three quarter survives. Cf Egan no.1313 for a similar style. | 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 | Creator: | Katie Hinds | Identifier: | http://www.finds.org.uk/database/artefac... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | text/html | Go to resource |
