Description: | Copper alloy brooch, Colchester derivative with variant of Polden Hill spring attachment system. Missing pin, spring, rear hook and catchplate; damaged area on the bow front. The spring was held by a combination of centre rear hook and 4mm wide tabs at the wing ends which folded around the axis bar terminals. The wings are decorated with single terminal and angled grooves. The bow back is slightly convex and it tapers to a point. Three v-section grooves along the front. A groove on the lower back of the bow (and visible round the foot) would have held a sheet catchplate. Width 22mm, surviving length 58mm. Type as Scole (Mackreth in Rogerson 1977, 129-131) no. 2 and West Stow (West 1989, 71) no. 160 and Hacheston fragment (pubn no. 80). | 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
