Description: | A cast copper alloy Birdlip brooch of late Iron Age date. The brooch measures 54.2mm in length and weighs 12.4g. The integral sprung pin has broken off the oval upper bow. Part way down the bow there is a moulded transverse projecting disc and below this a further moulded projection which curves upwards and narrows to bluntly pointed terminal. Below this the bow narrows gradually into a plain rounded foot. On the back of the lower part of the bow is the incomplete flat catchplate, which has two cut-out sections. The brooch is similar to an example from Guildford, Surrey in Hattatt's 'Visual Catalogue' (2000, p. 295, fig. 154, no. 1451). | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
