Description: | Copper alloy curved bar with a flattened terminal, most likely an incomplete and bent penannular brooch with corrosion damage to much of the surface. The terminal has a 5mm diameter flattened end and narrows to a 2.5mm diameter circular section shaft which then expands again gradually to around 4mm diameter. The scale of the piece and the surviving curve would suggest a fairly large brooch with a diameter around 42mm. Hattatt illustrates one similar eg (no.647)and classifies it with Fowler type A knob terminals; there are a few similar from Suffolk (Wetheringsett and smaller ones from Thorington and Brandon). Dating of this class of penannulars is generally Iron Age - Roman | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
