Description: | Large complete brooch with exception of the catch plate which has broken away. The brooch has a narrow tapering bow in one continuous curve. The spring gear fits into the category of the Polden Hill type - the spring is held to the rear of semi-cylindrical wings with an axis bar passing through the rearward rounded lug at each end of the wing. Running down the top of the bow is moulded decoration - possibly in the shape of a snake. There appears to be no additional decoration. The pin still survives. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
