Description: | Copper alloy brooch, large Colchester derivative type with double pierced lug spring attachment and with fluted sides. Missing spring, pin; lug and one wing damaged; bow very bent and corroded. The wings have a pair of grooves next to the bow junction; there may have been a single one at the terminal also. The bow has a flat back and tapers slightly to a flat end. The sides have broad concave mouldings with a narrow flat centre - no decoration survives on this. The catchplate has a large triangular hole and a pin groove. Width 27mm, surviving length 56mm. The general type is as Wherstead (Gill et al 2001, EAA Occas9) no.4, but the detail of the wings and catchplate more similar to egs from Layham and from Hasketon (HSK 008). | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Plouviez, Judith | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
