The two halves are now connected by a copper alloy rivet through one double and one single lug. The opposing lugs remain unpierced. Both halves are decorated alike with four slightly curved lines of opposed triangles formed by engraved interrupted rocker-arm creating a crude, rounded, open cross, containing an engraved transverse line of interrupted rocker-arm between the lugs. The case is recessed internally, the glass is missing. Diameter (excluding lugs) is 31.5-32mm. Length (including lugs) 43mm. 6mm thick. Cf. Egan and Pritchard (2002, 362, fig. 241, nos 1714 - 1716). c.1270-1350. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | https://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/ | Go to resource |
