Description: | Copper alloy brooch fragment. Middle and lower bow only. Bow front and back are convex giving a lentoid section. It expands mid bow to a lozenge shape, on which there is a grooved outline and three central cells for enamel, now missing. The lower bow tapers to tiny circular footknob. Surviving length 35m. This type is described by Hattatt (BoA, 1987) as Hull's type 122, a distinctive group of T-shaped (ie hinged) brooches, mainly from the Lower Severn and Wilts, Hants with one known East Anglian eg; they are very standardised and quite likely to be a single workshop product. | Subjects: | T-shaped; Hattatt 918/919 | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Plouviez, Judith | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
