Description: | The spring is cast as one piece as the bow and bow head. There are six coils of the spring, protruding from one coil the pin protrudes. The pin is incomplete, only c. a third remains. The spring has a horizontal bar which is held in place by a loop which is a strip which has been folded towards the bow head. The bow head is 'n' shape in profile leading to a vertical bow. The bow is rectangular in section and is only 1.25mm thick. The bow has a flat surface and is an elongated trapezoidal shape in plan, which tapers towards the foot. The bow is decorated with three columns of small shallow sub-triangular punch marks. Two columns form the border of the bow, the third is in the centre. The foot is missing. Only a trace of the catchplate remains and this appears to have had an open-work shape as decoration. The brooch has a mid-green patina. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
