Description: | Copper alloy equal-ended plate brooch, measuring 55.93mm long, 24.45mm wide, and with a maximum thickness of 4.62 mm. It has a green patina, and is in good condition, though most of the enamelling has been lost, and the pin is absent. It consists of a central cicular field, inside which are raised, moulded concentric rings, and beyond which lie symmetrical, ornate, lunate terminals. The type is not common, but has a wide distribution. Hattatt (1985) lists close parallels from Roman Syria, Northumberland, the Rhineland, East Anglia, Richborough, and Colchester, some of which preserve a distinctive 'fish' shaped central mount. Such a feature is not evident on the present example. | 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
