Description: | Fragment from the head of a bow brooch, of Wroxeter type. The top of the bow is slender with two longitudinal ribs, dividing the bow into three cells each containing the characteristic alternating enamel design. The (now) orange enamel survives relatively well, but there is poor survival of the corresponding enamel, traces suggest a (now) dark red colour. The remnant of a plate begins at the trumpet-like head, but has broken before the perforation. The brooch employed a spring mechanism, which survives and has been discoloured by the corrosion of the iron axis bar. The catch plate and the pin are missing. A fragment of the bow has recently broken and been glued back by the finder. | 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: | 50
