Description: | Head and bow from copper alloy small-long brooch. The head has a thin covering of ?iron corrosion which obscures much decoration, but it seems that a groove ran upwards from either side of the bow to delineate a central panel. There are three flat T-shaped knobs with rounded corners, with U-shaped cut-outs forming the stems of the Ts. Just beyond these cut-outs are fine longitudinal grooves which are now partly worn away but which may originally have covered the whole of the crossbars of the Ts. On the reverse is a single pin bar lug with the remains of the iron bar blocking it. The bow begins with a flat panel decorated with two then three transverse lines. Below the group of three lines the bow has lost its surface, perhaps through bending stress. The break above the lower flat panel is fresh. The bow is hollow on the reverse. Surviving length 37 mm, width of headplate 27 mm, width of bow 12 mm, weight 10.00g. | 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: | 410
