Description: | Copper alloy brooch fragment, Colchester derivative type with double pierced lug spring attachment. Upper bow and wings only; some damage to wing terminals. The wings have a pair of grooves at the bow junction and a single groove at the terminal. The bow has a flat back and tapers; a centre rib is flanked by single grooves, single narrow ribs and broad concave mouldings at the edges. Just above the break the bow mouldings stop on a sharp horizontal line to leave a flat bow, only just over 1mm thick. Width 34mm, surviving length 24mm. Although this resembles the large variant of the standard Colchester B type (eg Wherstead, Gill et al 2001, no 4)the change in bow decoration is unusual, reminiscent of some fantail types. | Subjects: | Colchester derivative (double lug) | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Plouviez, Judith | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
