Description: | An incomplete, enamelled copper-alloy escutcheon from a British or Anglo-Saxon hanging bowl. The escutcheon is circular, slightly convex and missing approximately one third of the original surface area. The escutcheon was found in two pieces a couple of meters away from each other in plough soil. The surviving elements measure 30mm in length, with a diameter of 50mm. The escutcheon is 2mm thick.This escutcheon makes use of the three-spiral trumpet design, though of course one of the three elements is now missing. The recesses between the spirals contain red enamel however most of this has now degraded to a light-brown colour. The surface of the copper-alloy has been silvered.
