Description: | The object was recorded at the Hidden Treasures Roadshow at Worcester.
The brooch is intact except for the pin, which is completely missing. The brooch has a well developed olive green patina, which has little wear and is in very good condition. Only the suspension loop shows signs of wear. The loop is decorated with incised line decoration. The bow head is flat and small. The reverse of the bow head has traces of an iron pin or hinge. The bow is decorated with incised chevrons flanked by a panel of grooves on each side. This decoration continues to the tapering foot, except at the mid portion which opens up to full acanthus, flanked top and bottom by double circumferential bands. The foot is decorated with incised lines, under foot plain and flat. The catchplate is full, graceful with subtle line decoration. | 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: | 100
