Description: | Copper alloy brooch fragment, Colchester derivative type with a variant of the Polden Hill attachment system. Upper half only, missing spring, pin. At the wing terminals 5mm wide flaps are folded round to hold the ends of the axis bar; a central rear hook held the chord. Moulded wing terminals: two narrow grooves, a broad concave moulding and a narrow groove. The bow is nearly oval in section (but with flattened edges) and tapers; below a rounded top edge there are four longitudinal grooves. Width 29mm, surviving length 23mm. Very similar examples are known from other east Suffolk locations including Wenhaston (at least two), Coddenham, Barham (BRH 016 437). | 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
