Description: | Copper alloy brooch fragment, Colchester derivative/Polden Hill variant type. Upper half only, missing spring, pin, one arm damaged, corroded. Surface of the metal is blackened. The wings have folded over 10mm wide flaps at the ends which held the axis bar; there would also have been a rear hook, now missing. The right hand wing is shorter, not only due to damage as the decoration is cramped. Wing fronts moulded: from the centre two notched ribs, broad concave moulding, rib (?notched), concave moulding, ?bead terminal. The bow is D-shaped and very slightly tapering with no surviving decoration. Surviving length 32mm, width 46mm. This example is larger than most of the type, and the only Suffolk e.g. with comparable heavily moulded wings is from CDD 019. | 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
