Description: | Copper alloy brooch, openwork enamelled type. Missing a probable headloop; corroded and abraded edges and surfaces; pin incomplete and very bent. The pin is hinged between two close set lugs, just below the stub of a probable small headloop. The main part of the plate is a crecent shape, with the terminals of the crescent extended and joining above the catchplate; at the join there is a thicker narrow element which projects beyond the rest. The plate is flat backed and very slightly convex fronted. There are blue enamelled cells around the lower edge of the crescent with two 'background' cells above and beside them - these contain discoloured fragments, possibly of red enamel. Another two small cells at the narrow end contain the same discoloured, possibly red enamel. Surviving length 36.5mm, width 21.5mm; the plate is 3mm thick. The nearest comparable example in Hattatt is no. 1619, where the thickened basal projection may be a stylised animal head. | 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: | 100
