Description: | Copper alloy bow brooch fragment - hinged type, Sawfish related. Upper half only, some corrosion damage. Plain arms folded around a copper alloy hinge bar, with the stub of the pin only. Flat backed bow, slightly convex face, thin, slightly tapered. Rib on the crest, some corrosion along the edge so might have originally included a pierced lug but not the full animal motif of some Sawfish types. Enamelled triangles (decayed red?) and lozenges (pale green, ? white). Width 20mm, surviving length 20mm. Similarities to Hattatt's T-shaped groups, particularly the sawfish type - but this example is definitely not serrated along the edges - e.g. Hattatt nos. 31, 416 | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | 43
