Description: | An incomplete example of a "sawfish" style T - shaped brooch. The top part of the bow section is missing, but the leg and foot remain. The leg is decorated with 10 pairs of triangular recesses leaving a set of 10 raised lozenges between them. A good comparison can be made to Hattatt (1982, 73; 30) which also has this type of pattern. Hattatt suggests that the triangular recesses would have been decorated with enamel, but the raised lozenges would have been left uncoloured. Despite this there is no remaining enamelleft, but there is evidence that the lozenges were tinned as were the crenenlated edges. The foot has a flat bottom which faces forwards slightly. The catch plate is still in place. | 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: | 50
