Description: | Copper alloy brooch fragment, Polden Hill type. Missing lower bow, spring, pin. The spring axis bar was held between two pierced end plates on the semi-cylindrical wings and the chord passed through a single pierced lug on the top of the wings. Each wing has a broad central groove. The bow is a flattened D-section, with an extra rib along each edge on the upper part. The pierced lug is flanked by single grooves which converge to the bow centre to form a V, the point of which is at the same level as the edge rib ends. Below this the bow is plain and slightly tapered. Width 21mm, surviving length 26mm. Slight traces of white metal on the bow front. Similarities to Hattatt no 901 which he cites as Hull's 103. Relatively unusual in East Anglia, main distribution southern England with a western bias. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
