Title
DUR-58ABBE : Brooch : Early-Medieval
Description
English: An incomplete coper alloy trefoil plate brooch of Later Early- Medieval date (AD 850-1050). The object is composed of three integral arms which are decorated with a raised elaborate knot motif across the entire face of the object. The object is heavily corroded and abraded and further stylistic detail has been lost due to this. The reverse is smooth and undecorated and retains two rectangular projecting spurs with semi-circular recesses. These spurs would have been the pin mount (or lugs) which consists of two half-round plates set vertically into one arm; the pin would originally have swivelled between these on another pin or hinge running between the two plates. The pin and catch plate are missing with only a minor projection from an arm to indicate the location of the catchplate.

The face of the object retains small patches of retained gilt which would have covered the surface of the object

The metal is a dark brown in colour with some green patches and a pitted corroded patina.
