Description: | The arched bow is D shaped in section; at the top of the bow are two horizontal ribs; below the ribs, the bow is moulded with a central sunken groove in which there are twelve sub-rectangular cells. These would originally have held enamel. At the base of the bow is a forward facing flange; below the flange, the leg has a horizontal rib and ends in a small rounded forward facing foot. The head has a step moulded along its length; the spring is enclosed in semi-cylindrical wings with end plates securing an axis bar; the pin is intact and the catchplate is solid - it extends the whole length of the foot. There are traces of gilding on the foot and the bow. | 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: | Philippa Walton | Identifier: | http://www.finds.org.uk/database/artefac... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | text/html | Go to resource |
