The foot ends in a thick flat disc, and above this is a collar. Behind the foot is the catchplate. The bow is very slender, and decorated with a cental moulded groove at the bottom, which splits into 2 grooves 2/3 of the way up where the bow flares out slightly. The bow is solid and fairly squar in section. It is now sharply bent so that the head is nealr touching the catchplate. The head itself has 2 wings whichare circular in section ending in an incised line. These held an enclosed spring mechanim; there is a slot for the pin, which is now mising. There are the remains of a large loop on the head. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
