Description: | Penannular brooch, the frame has a curricular cross section 3mm diameter, brooch would have had an oval shape with a large gap between the terminals of about 12mm. The terminals are a moulded square shaped 5mm wide 5mm long and 3mm thick. In the centre of each of the terminals is a ring and dot motif, there is a slight trace of red enamel associated with the ring and dot. The artefact has been silvered. The object is in rather poor quality, the surface is corroded resulting in a pitted dark green colour, the brooch has been broken in two, this break appears to be rather recent with bare copper alloy visible in the break, this probably broke along an existing fault.
This type of brooch corresponds with Fowlers Type G (1964, 107-109), with a suggested date range of the 6th and 7th centuries (Fowler, 1964, 117) and are though to be a Sub-Roman type. | 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: | 500
