It has short curved wings which are vertically stepped. Behind these is a circular rod which holds a hinged pin. Above the pin is a large open loop which is integral to the wings. The bow which is semi-circular in section is decorated with two raised vertical lines which contain seven 'diamond' shaped cells containing deep blue enamel. Above this is the circular raised stud which has a circular recess (which may have held enamel) surrounding a raised disc. The base of the bow has a horizontal incised line above a horizontal recess. Below this is a circular foot. The catchplate is 9mm long and tapers outwards before curving round to form the catch. | Subjects: | headstud | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Scott, Wendy - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
