Description: | This brooch has very flattened small wings which are oval in section, the central aperture in the head is corroded and no mechanism is visible. The bow is formed by the fan-tail leg and is almost flat in profile, the obverse is decorated with moulded 'reeding' of 3 equally spaced rayed lines one on the centre line and one either side. There is a small amount of white metal coating on the obverse. Both head and widest end of tail suffer from heavy accretion of metal corrosion products. There is a single knop protruding from the left hand side of the widest end of the tail, when holding the brooch head uppermost obverse facing, the opposing knop has been broken off and is 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: | 40
