Description |
English: Complete gilt copper alloy square headed brooch. Rectangular headplate with concave sides except for the base line. The top two corners have extended animal head projections. The headplate contains four inner rectangles, the central one containing two curvilinear swastikas and two pellets. The outer rectangle is decorated with transverse lines and a linear animal motif. Arched bow, in section carinated in front and slightly concave behind, with a prominent mid-rib incorporating a central lozenge-shaped boss. To either side are two sunked fields, undecorated. Footplate with T-shaped side lobes, rivited onto the plate in two places. The shoulders each enclose an animal motif. Moulding below bow originates in a face mask at the top, divides to form a central lozenge shaped field enclosing another curvilinear swastika, and unites at the bottom in a face mask with arched brows, prominent eyes, curled side locks or wig, scrolled moustache and a downturned mouth. Splayed terminal plate decorated with a line of triple vertically placed ribs. Double lug on reverse for hinged pin. Small catchplate intact. The face of the brooch is extensively gilded. |
