Description: | Copper alloy brooch, Colchester derivative type but with hybrid spring attachment system. Missing spring, pin and most of one wing, the other wing damaged. A strong crest at the top of the bow is pierced to form a single lug, presumably for the spring chord, but there is no indication of a lower pierced element to hold the axis bar as in Harlow types; however the damaged wing has the stub of a rear hook or pierced endplate at the terminal, suggesting either a Polden Hill type or a rear hook variant. The wings have beaded rib mouldings. The bow is triangular in section with very slight side flanges; along the centre a beaded rib is set in a groove. The bow tapers to a blunt point. The catchplate is solid and does not have a pin groove. Length 49mm, surviving width 19mm. | 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
