The head conceals a tubular casting with a hinged pin mechanism consisting of iron axis bar and a slot, which is slightly off centre for the cast copper alloy pin, only a fragment of which survives. On top of the head is an incomplete integral copper alloy chain loop. Both the cylindrical wings are decorated with vertical ribs and at the top of the bow is a solid circular headstud with a central pellet. The length of the sub-triangular sectioned bow is decorated with a vertical line of lozenges and the bow terminates with a moulded collar above a plain foot knob. The complete catchplate has a length of 18.9mm and a width of 5.0mm. The complete length of the brooch is 37.6mm, the width is 11.9mm and the weight is 6.85g. | Subjects: | Headstud | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Staves, Lisa - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
