Description: | Copper alloy brooch, Hattatt's reversed fantail type. Missing spring, pin; some damage to rear hook; surface corrosion/abrasion. The wings have single angled and terminal grooves. The bow is flat backed. The rounded upper bow has traces of a groove on the lower side. The central projection has a groove on each side and traces of one above and below the apex. The lower bow has an X on the top part. The footknob projects slightly and has traces of longitudinal grooves. Width 16.5mm, length 29mm. Very similar but different proportions to another from this site (SF-9924B3). Similar to Hattatt no 813 (and the type is discussed in Hattatt 1987, 61-63). Related to rear hook Aesica types and very likely produced in the Icenian area but with similarities in profile to the lion bow rosette type. | Subjects: | reversed fantail | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Plouviez, Judith | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
