Description: | Fragment of copper alloy Colchester derivative bow brooch. It consists of the lower part of the bow, foot and catchplate. The break is ancient and the inside of the bow has suffered some corrosion, so it look almost hollow for the first 4mm. The bow is decorated with a central rib, grooves flanking it on either side. From c.30mm from the foot, the rib is decorated with tiny ?horizontal/ ?diagonal incised lines, and the rib becomes less pronounced as it reaches the foot, emphasising the grooves on either side. The foot is a very tiny semi-circular projection (1mm wide), with three deep grooves flanking two horizontal ribs above it. The catchplate is triangular in shape with a central triangular hole, roughly measuring 4x5x6mm. The curl is slightly damaged, but is decorated with pairs of incised lines following an alternating diagonal pattern (Cf WILT-FA9CF2 ). An incised line flanks the inside of the curl on the catchplate. Incomplete length 42mm. | 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
