Description: | The brooch has no wings, instead the spring is formed from the tip of the bow head which tapers forming a length of wire. The wire is then coiled twice around a separate copper alloy bar. The spring wire is incomplete. The copper alloy bar has slightly flared terminals as if to keep the spring in place. The colour of the patina of the bar is a lighter coloured green than that of the spring. The bow is flat and has wide 'shoulders' at the bow head which then tapers towards the bow foot. The bow is curved forming a semi-circle, and then is broken. Decoration on the bow consists of a single ridge divided into cubes running vertically down the bow. | 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
