Description: | Copper alloy brooch, Colchester derivative rear hook type. Missing spring, pin, rear hook, damaged foot, scar only of catchplate. Moulded wings with a central concave moulding flanked by triple narrow ribs, the centre one notched to a wavy line; both terminals damaged. The bow has a high D-section, but the back is slightly convex; a cntre band of decoration is very worn but probably consists of two notched narrow ribs (wavy lines) flanked by grooves. The bow tapers to a blunt point; it is not clear how much is missing here. In profile the bow expands around the top of the wings. Surviving length 36mm, width 21mm. Similar to an example from ramsholt, Suffolk (RMS 011 no. 157). | 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 |
