Description: | Copper alloy brooch, Colchester derivative rear hook type. Missing spring, pin and catchplate, damaged rear hook. Moulded wings: at the ends a beaded broad rib is flanked by narrow grooves and ribs, separated from the same arrangement next to the bow junction by a concave moulding; on the inner broad ribs there is no trace of the beading (which is very slight on the outer ones). The bow is D-section, slightly tapering, and has two narrow grooves along the centre; no decoration survives on the intervening band but it is abraded. The flat end appears to be original, although the bow looks truncated, and there is a probable catchplate scar on the back. Width 29mm, length 38mm. Comparable to elements of brooches from Fisons Way Thetford (EAA 53, 1992 Fig 112 nos 6, 7, 8) | Subjects: | Colchester derivative (rear hook) | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Plouviez, Judith | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
