Description: | Copper alloy brooch, a lozenge shaped equal ended type. Missing pin and one side knob, some areas badly corroded. The pin was hinged between two close set lugs. The profile is a low arch, which on the front face has flattened centre and flanking faces. The central rectangular panel has three punched circles with deeper centre dots; there are also rows of angled punched lines across the junctions with the adjacent paanels. The panels above and below have traces of curving lines of punched dots along the edges. At each corned there is a flat backed knob defined by strong transverse mouldings. Length 41mm, surviving width 27mm. There are traces of white metal on the front surfaces. This is a fairly early equal ended type, as Hattatt no.1114 and Riha 1979 no 1640. | 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: | 43
