The catchplate is damaged but appears triangular in shape. The brooch measures 50mm in length, the wings have a width of 8mm, the bow has a width of 4mm. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Walton, Phillippa - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
