Description: | Cast copper alloy Wirral type bow brooch.
The foot and head loop missing, as are the pin. It is a hinged brooch and the cross bar can just be seen inside the head. The head is stepped up to where the headloop should be, with horizontal moulding. The upper part of the bow has a rectangular panel which is split into 3 vertical strips. These would have been filled with alternating squares of coloured enamel. Most of this is missing but a small fragment of yellow enamel remains.
There is a boss on the knee of the brooch. The lower part of the bow is lozenge shaped in cross section and is starting to taper toward the end.
The brooch is quite worn so the details have been obscured slightly. It has an uneven patina and colour due to corrosion. | Subjects: | Wirral | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | McIntosh, Frances | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
