The wings have a concave underside with a double perforated lug at the centre. A single vertical groove decorates the outer edge of each wing. The spring, axis bar and pin are all missing. On top of the head is a high crest which tapers into a central ridge, extending the length of the bow. The underside of the bow is flat, the foot is rounded and there is a damaged openwork catchplate. The head is not perpendicular to the bow, but twisted slightly.
The brooch measures 62.9mm high, 29.3mm wide and 14.4mm deep. The weight is 12.66g. | Subjects: | Two-piece Colchester type | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Watters, Julian - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
