Description: | Humped head with backwards projecting hook. Oval mouldings to either side of the head. Continuously curving and tapering bow decorated on top half with median milled rib with deep groove and high ridge to either side. The decoration ends at the midpoint of the bow with a pair of raised small oval mouldings with a groove bisecting each. The bow beneath this is plain and inverted V- shaped in section. The foot is missing. The remnants of the catchplate extend the length of the bow. The semi-tubular wings have expanded terminal lugs which are pierced off-centre to accommodate axis pin. A fragment of the iron axis pin remains in situ in one of the lugs. The lug terminals are defined by a ridge and groove and are milled. Spring gear and pin missing. | 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: | 70
