Description: | Copper alloy brooch, large Colchester derivative type with double pierced lug spring attachment and fluted bow. Missing part of the catchplate edge, part of double lug and part of pin; the axis bar is bent and part spring is detached. 10-turn spring. The wings have a single terminal groove and a pair of grooves next to the bow junction. The bow has broad concave mouldings, with a fine incised line along each margin; at the top a centre rib has traces of transverse notches, and below this the flat centre has two fine grooves along it and slight traces of notching along the edges. The catchplate has circle within large triangle piercings and a pin groove. Width 32mm, length 58mm. Similar to an example from Wherstead, Suffolk (Gill et al 2001, Eaa Occas 9, no.4) except for the detail of the decoration on the wings and the lower bow. The bow detail is more similar to an example from Coddenham in Ipswich Museum (IPSMG 1954-66-6) and shares with this a small blank rectangle at the base of the upper bow rib, however the Museum eg has a X on this rectangle, as does a very similar unpublished fragment from Hintlesham. | 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
