Description: | Copper alloy brooch, penannular, Fowler type A3. The ring has been bent so that the terminals are wide apart; some corrosion has obscured the decorative detail on parts of the terminals; the piece has been quite heavily cleaned. The ring is circular in section, diam 2.5mm, thickening slightly towards the terminals. The knob terminals, 5mm in diameter, have roughly circular indentations in the ends. There are narrow collars at the junction of the knobs with the ring, and these are knurled. The pin shaft is circular in section (1mm diam)and flattened to a rectangular section where it coils 1 1/2 times around the ring. The original diameter of the brooch was probably around 30mm, it is now separated to a length of 56mm. Type as Fowler type A3 (as defined in Hattatt, with a collared knob terminal) and very similar to an example found at Coddenham, Suffolk (CDD 017 "Field 6"). | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
