Description: | Copper alloy brooch, Colchester derivative type, probably with rear hook attachment. Missing spring, pin, rear hook; damage to catchplate, severe corrosion in places. The wings are a half cylinder, with small areas of iron-stained corrosion and spring impression at each end. There is no surviving rear hook but a possible scar at the top of the bow. The wing fronts are decorated, each with two concave mouldings and three bands containing pairs of reseved wavy lines. The bow is D-section with slight flanges at the edges and tapers to a blunt point. The decoration has a centre pair of wavy line ribs (reserved within a lowered band) flanked by single concave mouldings and incised line - the same elements as on the wings. The catchplate is undecorated. Length 44mm, width 33mm. Some similarities to Hacheston pubn no 74. | 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
