Description: | Copper alloy brooch, Colchester derivative hinged type. Missing pin; some corrosion and accretions. The cylindrical wings are slightly flattened at the back and the centre slot (for pin) has a 3mm by 1.5mm slot cut to the left. The mouldings are hatched beads alternating with narrow ribs and concave mouldings.The upper bow is almost circular in section (slightly flattened towards the back), with a central beaded rib at the top above a band of transverse mouldings (also hatched beads, narrow ribs and concave mouldings). The lower bow has narrow side flanges with angled notches and a centre rib, again notched/beaded. The inside of the catchplate is obscured with dirt and corrosion products but it is not pierced. Width 33mm, length 60mm. Although there are Suffolk egs with similar transverse mouldings (eg CDD 017) the lower bow is different and this one is larger. | Subjects: | Colchester derivative (hinged) | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Plouviez, Judith | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
