Description: | Copper alloy brooch, Colchester derivative type but with hybrid spring attachment system. Missing spring, pin and most of one wing, the other wing damaged. A strong crest at the top of the bow is pierced to form a single lug, presumably for the spring chord, but there is no indication of a lower pierced element to hold the axis bar as in Harlow types; however the damaged wing has the stub of a rear hook or pierced endplate at the terminal, suggesting either a Polden Hill type or a rear hook variant. The wings have beaded rib mouldings. The bow is triangular in section with very slight side flanges; along the centre a beaded rib is set in a groove. The bow tapers to a blunt point. The catchplate is solid and does not have a pin groove. Length 49mm, surviving width 19mm. | Subjects: | Colchester derivative | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Plouviez, Judith | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
