Description: | Copper alloy brooch fragment, hinged bow type. Upper part only, missing pin; bow heavily corroded. The pin was hinged and the hinge bar remains inside the cast tubular wings which are flattened and broadened at the front; decoration on these flat fronted wings consists of narrow and broader ribs defined by vertical grooves.The top of the bow is a thicker area between the wings which continues as a tapering flat strip of rectangular section. No detail to suggest decoration survives on the front of the bow. Width 20mm, surviving length 27mm. No immediate parallels have been identified for this brooch; the flatness and the style of the wing mouldings suggest a link with Langton Down types. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Plouviez, Judith | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
