Description: | The wings are semi-cylindrical with wing caps. The caps have a hole in the centre to support the axis bar. Around the axis bar spring is coiled. Protruding from the spring is the pin, of which half remains. The break of the pin does not suggest a recent break. The bow head is angular, and at the junction of the bow head and upper edge of the wings there is a small hook. The bow is sub semi-circular in cross section, tapering towards the foot. The bow is incomplete and is broken just below where the catchplate starts, again this is not a recent break. The bow is decorated with a central ridge bordered by a groove. The grooves are bordered by a series of oblique, high-relief, leaf shapes. 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 |
