Description: | The bow head is a vertical sub-oval shape with a vertical semi-circular lug on the reverse. The lug has a small hole which is filled with a fragment of iron. The pin is missing.
The upper edge of the bow head has the remains of a protrusion. The bow is oval shape in section and tapers towards the apex of the bow. The apex of the bow has a moulded acanthus which is semi-circular in cross-section. Only a small fragment of the lower portion of the bow remains. Therefore the catchplate and bow foot is missing.
The surface of the brooch has traces of a brown/green patina. | 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 | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Angie Bolton | Identifier: | http://www.finds.org.uk/database/artefac... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | text/html | Go to resource |
