Description: | The wings are semi-cylindrical with wing caps. The wing caps have a single circular hole to support the axis bar. The axis bar, and spring are missing. One wing is damaged and is angled upwards. There are very small patches of iron staining in the void of the wings. The wings are decorated with vertical linear ridges which are divided with slightly incised horizontal lines. The bow head is hump like. The apex of the bow head is decorated with a high-relief rectangular ridge which has horizontal grooves; two narrow and one wide, all with curved bases. The ridge tapers before the bow becomes established. The central ridge is shaped to form a loop where the bow head meets the wings. This loop has a fragment of a circular sectioned wire inserted. The bow is undecorated and is oval shaped in section. The upper portion of the bow has been damaged by the patina no longer existing there, whereas the majority of the brooch is covered with a grey/green coloured patina. The bow foot is missing, as is the catchplate. The pin is broken from the bow, this broken surface of the pin has bronze disease. The pin was found inserted into one of the wing cap holes. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
