Description: | Copper alloy brooch, Colchester type. Complete except for damage to the catchplate; some corrosion, cleaned. The spring has ten coils; there is a break between the first and second coils to the right of the pin (ie close to where the pin joins the base of the wings) but the rest appears original rather than replacement. There is a separate axis bar through the spring. The flat wings have a single groove at each terminal, and there is a single groove at the end of the front facing chord hook. The bow is almost rectangular in section at the top but becomes circular and tapers to a blunt point. In profile the top bow angle is obtuse and the main part well curved. The catchplate has tracesof three small rectangular holes. Length 73mm, width 22mm. | Subjects: | Colchester | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Plouviez, Judith | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
