Description: | Copper alloy brooch, with Colchester derivative rear hook type of attachment. Missing spring, pin' damaged foot and catchplate, very corroded. The wings have concave mouldings. The bow has a D-shaped section, broad and humped in profile, above a straight, tapering narrow leg/foot. The back of the upper bow is slightly convex and the bow joins the upper edge of the wings. Decoration is unclear but there seem to be single grooves near to the edges and narrow grooves converging from the edges of the rear hook stub towards the middle. There is no visible decoration on the lower bow. There are slight traces of white metal coating on the front of the wings and bow. Surviving length 34mm, width 21mm. The form is something of a hybrid, with the humped upper bow perhaps influenced by the Continental eye brroch type? No close parallels found in Suffolk illustrations or Hattatt. | 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
