Description: | Copper alloy brooch fragment, Colchester derivative rear hook spring attachment type. Upper half only, missing spring, pin; damaged rear hook; patches of corrosion have removed the surface on the bow. The back of the wings contains possible solder remnants near both ends. The wings have a broad concave moulding near the terminals, flanked by grooves and ribs, and with further ribs and grooves towards the middle. The bow is flat backed with almost flat front faces rising to a central angle and tapers slightly. The central angle has single incised lines on each side, and there are also single lines along each edge. Width 38mm, surviving length 35mm. A large example of the type, not precisely paralleled but with similar elements in other East Anglian egs. | Subjects: | Colchester derivative (rear hook) | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
