Description: | Copper alloy brooch, small long type. Missing pin, lower foot and damaged around the margins, especially the headplate; bow and foot are worn. The pin was sprung on a single lug which is enveloped in iron corrosion from the spring. The flat head plate is cruciform around a central trapezoid which is outlined on 3 sides by a single incised line and semi-circular punch marks (most of which are very corroded); similar lines and punchmarks delineate the junctions with the wings. The wings all appear to be semi-circular in outline, but all the edges are damaged so the possibility of slight double lobes (cf Macgregor & Bollick no15.62) remains. The bow arch has a slight hollow behind and double lines above and below the facetted area. The upper foot has small side notches and a pair of transverse lines but detail here is obscured by wear and corrosion. Surviving length 61mm, width 37mm. | 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: | 450
