Description: | A cast copper-alloy disc brooch inlaid with enamel. The decoration consists of a cross but it now difficult to determine how the enamel has been used. The elements of the design are separated by recessed lines and it appears that red enamel was applied in the fields between the arms of the cross. However it not possible to see if the cross its self or the central circular area was inlaid. On the back of the brooch is a single perforated lug by which the pin was attached and a hook, both cast integrally with the brooch. The pin is now missing. The diameter is 21.0mm, the thickness is 3.6mm and the weight is 4.14g.
The date of the brooch is 8th century and a continental (Rhenish) origin for this brooch is probable. | 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: | 700
