The spring, pin and axis bar are missing. On the interior of the wings there is an impression of the spring formed within the patina. The exterior of the wings are decorated with oblique grooves. The bow head is hump-like. The bow and bow head are decorated with a vertical central ridge. On the reverse of the bow and bow head is a ridge of copper alloy linking the base of the wings with the upper portion of the bow. The bow is oval in section and tapers towards the foot. The catchplate is no longer remaining, the break is not recent. The surface of the brooch has patches of a mid brown/green patina, otherwise the surface is corroded. | 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
