Description: | Copper alloy brooch fragment - a single wing from a crossbow type - with traces of gilding. The terminal knob is rather battered, but the shape is rounded with a slightly conical outer profile, diam 7.8mm. At the junction with the arm there is a rib flanked by two grooves; a piece of wire wrapped around the arm is now held by surface varnish applied by the finder in the outer groove. The arm is hexagonal in section, max 5mm across, and centrally pierced to take the hinge bar (this now contains a rusty brown deposit). Surviving length 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: | 300
