Description: | Copper alloy brooch, Nauheim or Drahtfibel related type. Missing foot and most of catchplate; bow and pin bent. The pin and spring are a rod of circular section, 1.5mm in diameter, with an external chord. At the bow the rod becomes triangular in section, remaining narrow (2.2mm wide) and tapering to a point. There is a single groove along each side of the bow. The stub of the catchplate has an internal v-shaped nick which may suggest that it was open. Surviving length 36mm. The external chord and possibly open catchplate suggest a date earlier than the common post-Conquest Nauheim derivatives, and the triangular section bow is unusual. | Subjects: | Drahtfibel | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
