Description: | The brooch has very short wings which are formed as part of the tubular rolled open ended head that contains the iron pin axis bar, there is a slot mid way along around which the cast copper-alloy hinged pin is fastened. The pin tip is missing. The curved bow tapers slightly from the head down, and both edges of the bow are badly corroded, and there is a possibility that the ragged edges represent the remains of cast-in side lugs, there is a median ridge running down the centre of the bow with raised zigzag rib decoration with cavetto moulding on either side, the bow terminates with a double moulded transverse step, from which the foot tapers rapidly almost to a point, a very small amount of white metal coating is visible on the foot. There is a narrow triangular catchplate which runs the length of the foot. | Subjects: | Bagendon/Aucissa type bow | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
