Description: | The wings are tubular with wing cap terminals which support the axis bar. At the centre of the wings there is a vertical gap which reveals the central axis bar. The pin has an integral loop through which the axis bar is placed. This loop is an oval shape and becomes thickened in width, so that the pin cannot be pushed too far backwards. The pin then becomes circular in section instead of rectangular. Only a short portion of the pin remains. The bow head is hump-like with a circular platform a the apex as decoration. The bow is undecorated and is oval shaped in section. The bow tapers and is broken, this is not a recent break. The catchplate is not visible on the brooch due to the break. The surface of the brooch is covered with a mid brown/green patina. | 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
