Description: | Copper alloy brooch, headstud type. Missing pin and catchplate and headloop; very corroded. The surviving stub of the pin is probably iron, but the remains of the hinge bar are copper alloy and held in a cast cylinder behind the wings. The wings thin and are angled back towards the ends; surviving decoration consists of a rib with horizontal notching on each side of the junction with the bow. The bow is rectangular in section at the top, tapering and becoming oval. A centre crest at the top is damaged and joins a circular headstud, probably dot in ring design with blue enamel in the centre dot. Below this slight traces remain of the standard lozenges and triangles design, with no surviving enamel. The footknob is defined by a large groove and is flat ended. Width 21.5mm, length 48mm. | Subjects: | Headstud | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
