Full Description
Brooch, bronze, gold wash, inlaid blue and green glass. Found in construction work (related to, but not on, relief road) with metal detector.
Cloisonne disc brooch, originally with outer ring of lobes. Very worn, the number of lobes cannot clearly be determined, although the spacing of the stumps suggest an unusually high number. Central design is of a star shape in green with outer one of 6 semi-circles of dark blue. Traces of catch- plate and two lugs for spring remain on reverse. Diameter 2cms (S1).
