Description: | The 'wings' are tubular with a gap off centre. A copper alloy fragment of wire is within the tube. The pin is hinged through the gap of the wings and mounted with the internal wire passing through a circular hole of the pin, thereby creating a hinge. The pin, after the hinge is missing, this is a recent break. The wings appear to have been formed by a flat strip of metalwork folding forwards creating the tubular form. The bow is narrowed below the wings, before expanding. The expanded portion of the bow tapers gradually towards the mid-point of the bow. The upper portion of the bow is decorated with a vertical high-relief ridge which is bordered by a step and then a 'U' shaped groove. At the widest edge of the bow (its upper area), there are two sub-triangular protrusions on either side. Originally these may have formed a loop, but this is not clear. The upper portion of the bow terminates with a horizontal ridge, below which the bow is slightly narrowed, tapers and is undecorated. The bow foot is semi-circular in cross-section with an upper and lower edge. There are the remains of a solid catchplate, but it is heavily abraded. | 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
