TECHNICAL EXAMINATION OF NINE ENAMELLED COPPER-ALLOY ARTEFACTS FOUND IN THE CITY OF LONDON
Author(s): C Mortimer
Technical examination of nine enamelled copper-alloy artefacts (brooches, buttons and studs) showed that they were made in a variety of ways. The artefacts were made of copper and brass, using high-lead enamels. The enamelling was carried out using cloisonne and champleve techniques. The artefacts are Roman through to high medieval in date and include examples which are thought to be Irish, ?Swedish and French (Carolingian) in origin. The techniques of examination are also discussed.
