Description: | Copper alloy brooch, Colchester type. Complete, pin bent. The spring has 12 turns; it is attached via an axis bar which passes through a pierced lug and the chord is held by a short forward facing hook above the pierced lug (but this is definitely not a damged double pierced lug, the rounded hook terminal is in good condition). The wings have single angled grooves and single vertical grooves at the terminals and at the bow junctions. The wings are only slightly curved in profile. The tapering bow is triangular in section with small side flanges and a strong central groove. The catchplate is not pierced and does not have a pin groove. Width 23mm, length 33mm. This type appears transitional in type between the Colchester (flat arms, forward hook) and the Colchester derivative double pierced lug also kinown as Harlow (separate spring and axis bar, held by pierced lug, wing decoration, bow form). It is particularly like Colchester derivatives from West Stow (154, 157, 158) which also have flat wings and no pin groove, especially no. 154. | Subjects: | Colchester (3-piece) | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Plouviez, Judith | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
