Description: | Copper alloy brooch, Colchester derivative type with rear hook attachment. missing spring, pin and slight damage to catchplate, otherwise in good condition. The rear hook bends round so that the chord would have been almost completely enclosed; corrosion on the right side back of the wings is probably the remains of a solder. The wings have single grooves at the ends and diagonally. The bow is octagonal in section, with a deep V-groove occupying the centre front face; fine incised transverse lines are visible at 0.5mm intervals on the groove sides. The other facets (of which the side faces are the narrowest) are undecorated. The bow tapers to a blunt point. Width 25mm, length 50mm. Although all elements are comparable to recorded Colchester derivative types no very close parallel can be cited. | 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 |
