Description: | Copper alloy brooch, Colchester derivative type, hinged. Missing pin; the bow is bent with surface damage at the middle, probably where the plough hit it; some damage to the catchplate fold. The wings have two grooves at the terminals. The bow is flat backed; at the top it has small side flanges and the convex sides meet at a centre narrow slight rib. At about one-third along the bow the side flanges stop, giving a narrower D-section bow which tapers to a long pointed area; this expands behind into the catchplate. Width 29mm, length 65mm. An unusual hinged / T-shaped variant, perhaps related to more western British types than East Anglian? | Subjects: | Colchester derivative (hinged) | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Plouviez, Judith | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
