Description: | Copper alloy, Aesica type brooch. The front is silvered/tinned. The wings are open backed with pierced disc ends housing the copper alloy axis bar. At the head is the stub of a backward chord hook. The front of the wings are decorated with two moulded grooves; one at the ends, one half way along each wing. The bow is sub-triangular above a sub-triangular foot. The bow element has a knop at each of the lower corners and is decorated with two deep grooves flanking a central triangular panel, which has narrower incised lines. At the top is the raised chord hook. The leg is truncated at the top where it joins the bow and there is a transverse groove at this point. Below this is a decorative, inverted triangle formed of bands of four lines/grooves of varying depth and width. This forms two smaller triangles of the corners of the leg. Each of the three triangles contains a ring and dot stamp. The corners of the leg are also knopped. There is a plain catch-plate at the back. | Subjects: | Aesica | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
