Description: | Copper alloy brooch, Colchester derivative type with rear hook spring attachment. Missing spring, pin, rear hook, catchplate; some damage to wings and on bow, otherwise in good condition. The rear hook stub is broad and thin. Staining on the back of the wings suggests there may have been solder at both ends. The wings each have a central concave moulding flanked by narrow grooves and ribs. The bow is flat backed with a low convex face and tapers to a very blunt point. A central concave moulding on the bow is flanked by narrow grooves and raised bands with angled hatching, with a narrower concave moulding at the outer edge. In profile the bow joins the upper edge of the wings. Length 36mm, width 23mm. Similar in shape and decorative elements to an example from South Elmham, Suffolk (SEJ 006). | Subjects: | Colchester derivative (rear hook) | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Plouviez, Judith | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
