Description: | Copper alloy brooch, Colchester derivative rear hook type. Missing spring, pin and catchplate, damaged rear hook. Moulded wings: at the ends a beaded broad rib is flanked by narrow grooves and ribs, separated from the same arrangement next to the bow junction by a concave moulding; on the inner broad ribs there is no trace of the beading (which is very slight on the outer ones). The bow is D-section, slightly tapering, and has two narrow grooves along the centre; no decoration survives on the intervening band but it is abraded. The flat end appears to be original, although the bow looks truncated, and there is a probable catchplate scar on the back. Width 29mm, length 38mm. Comparable to elements of brooches from Fisons Way Thetford (EAA 53, 1992 Fig 112 nos 6, 7, 8) | 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
