Description: | Copper alloy brooch fragment, Colchester derivative / Polden Hill type with rear hook. Upper half only, missing spring, pin, most of the end plates and the rear hook; corroded areas. The wing end plates were originally circular with a central hole for the axis bar; the chord was held by the rear hook. The wings have traces of mouldings towards the terminals. The bow is circular in section and tapering; it has a central rib on the upper part, continuing the line of the rear hook. To each side there is a band of decoration, badly damaged but apparently defined by single grooves and with angled hatching. Surviving length 24mm, width 24mm. No close parallels identified in local material. | Subjects: | Colchester derivative (Polden Hill) | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
