Description |
English: Copper alloy brooch, depicting a sitting chicken. Missing most of pin; damaged catchplate and damaged and bent tail; hole in one enamel cell.The pin is hinged between two close set lugs below the tail. The underside of the body and neck is hollow. The head has small punched circles for eyes and triangles with a trace of blue enamel in the comb and the wattle. The enamelled cells on each side of the body consist of two crescents at the top, with traces of blue in some, and a row of triangualr shapes at the bottom, again with some blue enamel, and a larger curvilinear shape between the two rows, containing discoloured enamel on both sides. The tail has a small hole (now incomplete) near the base and curves around, now slightly bent so that that the end overlaps the base. Length 43mm, height excluding pin fittings 23mm, maximum body width 17.5mm. Type as Hattatt no.167, but the enamel detail is unusual though similar to another Suffolk example from Charsfield (CHA 011, SF-B41A33) and to one from Lincolnshire, Ludford (NLM5609). |
