Description: | The brooch head is a sub-oval shape in plan, however the upper and side edges are heavily abraded, therefore the bow head may have had semi-cylindrical wings. The reverse of the bow head is concave and has iron staining within. The bow head tapers becoming the bow. The bow head is not hump-like, instead curves gently towards the bow. The bow is incomplete and tapers to a point, possibly incomplete below the mid point, suggested by the curve of the bow. This bow terminal/foot tapers to a bunt point. There is no evidence of a catchplate, pin or spring. The decoration on the bow consists of three small circular cells forming a column. The upper cell has traces of blue enamel, the lower cells has a yellow/orange staining within. The surface of the brooch has a brown pitted patina. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
