Description: | A very unusual, incomplete, copper alloy, Colchester derivative brooch. Pitted with corrosion, with tubular wings with traces of twin oblique lines flanking the springing of bow, copper alloy axis bar, and a narrow slot containing the remains of a copper alloy hinged pin. The reverse is cast with the remains of at least thirteen vertical ribs to imitate the appearance of the coils of a spring. A broken circular-sectioned bow with the remains of twin vertical grooves flanking corrosion in centre, the foot is missing. Pseudo-spring arrangements can be seen on Colchester derivative brooches from Marham (HER 29189) and Suffield (HER 52655) in Norfolk and on Trumpet brooches and Headstud brooches (Hattatt nos.83 and 942). | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Crawford, Becky | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
