Description: | A copper alloy disc brooch. The face of the brooch is decorated with a simple incised ring and dot design consisting of a central dot surrounded by two concentric circles with a third circle around the edge of the brooch. On the reverse there is a lump of corroded iron around a single copper alloy lug. This is the remains of the iron pin that would have been present. The catch plate is still present but the curved end to catch the pin is broken and missing. MacGregor & Bolick (1993:57) says that it is usual for these to be silver plated or tinned but there is no trace of either remaining on this brooch. The brooch is similar to one found in Abingdon (MacGregor & Bolick 1993:61 no. 4.22) This brooch has an even dark green patina and a diameter of: 24.13mm. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
