Description: | The wings are flat sub-rectangular protrusions from the bow head. Protruding from the centre of the reverse of the wings is a upwards curled, semi-circular sectioned component. This component of the brooch would have formed a loop at the apex of the bow head. Where the protrusion would have joined the bow head, there is a sub-circular high-relief shape. On the reverse of the wings, below the hook protrusion the surface is irregular, suggesting another component of the brooch originally protruded from here. The bow head is undecorated and hump-like which tapers forming the bow, which is also undecorated. The bow is semi-circular shaped in section. The bow is incomplete, and is missing towards the bow foot. The catchplate is not remaining, nor is the spring and pin. The surface of the brooch has a light-green coloured patina in patches, however corrosion has caused the patina to be removed revealing a red/brown coloured surface over the majority of the surface. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
