Description: | Copper alloy brooch, Colchester derivative type with rear hook spring attachment. Missing spring pin, rear hook, most of catchplate; areas of heavy corrosion. There is now a hole in the top of the bow where the rear hook would have been. The wings each have four moulded ribs with angled hatching, separated by narrow grooves. The bow is flat backed with high, near vertical sides and a slightly convex face and it tapers slightly to a damaged blunt point. The face has two longitudinal bands of angled hatching flanked and separated by narrow grooves. Width 26mm, length 48.6mm. An example of this type with similar decoration was found at Wenhaston (WMH 004) in 1989. | 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 |
