Description: | Intact apart from missing pin. Semi-circular head with plinth and head-loop above. Plinth is decorated with two rows of milling. Lug with median gap on rear of head suggests the brooch pin was operated by a hinge mechanism which was attached to the lugs by a transverse pin. Angle between bow and head is decorated with a milling. The bow contains three long cells which extend the length of the bow and once would have contained enamel. At the junction of the bow and leg is a projecting knob with a single inscribed line above and an inscribed V below. The leg is plain except for single inscribed lines down either edge. The foot knob comprises two beads. The catchplate is intact and runs the length of the leg. | Subjects: | Wirral type | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Herepath, Nick - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
