Description: | Copper alloy brooch, Polden Hill variant. Missing spring and pin, minor damage to catchplate, otherwise in good condition. The axis bar was held by 4mm wide tabs folded over it at wing ends - traces of rust suggest the bar might have been iron but no magnetism observed. A central rear hook held the chord. The wings have mouldings towards the ends - a broader concave moulding and three narrow ribs and grooves. The bow has a slightly convex back, flat sides and a rounded front with a central beaded rib flanked by a pair of grooves. It tapers to a small projecting foot knob with a flat end. Length 37mm, width 26mm. Type as Scole (Mackreth in Rogerson 1977), no.1, fairly similar egs known in Suffolk from Wenhaston, Coddenham, Hacheston and a very similar one from Whitton; see also sf8726 from this site. | Subjects: | Colchester derivative / Polden Hill variant | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Plouviez, Judith | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
