Description: | Copper alloy brooch, Colchester derivative type with rear hook spring attachment. Missing spring, pin; damaged catchplate fold. Traces of white-ish ?solder on the back of the wings at the right hand side. The wings have a decorated band at each end consisting of grooves with a pair of reserved notched ribs (producing wavy lines) in each. The bow is flat backed and tapers to a flattened end. The rounded front has a central grooved band with a single reserved notched rib. The catchplate is a separate sheet with a slot visible in the bow above it and in the foot. Length 43mm, width 27mm. The bow decoration and catchplate fixing are similar to a variant Polden Hill group (published egs from Scole, Mackreth in Rogerson, 1977, EAA5, 130, no 2 and from West Stow, West 1989, EAA 48, 71, no.160) but both elements occur on Rear hook types (eg Hacheston pubn no.74 decoration and an eg from Flowton with the catchplate slot). | Subjects: | Colchester derivative (rear hook) | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
