Description: | Copper alloy brooch, Colchester derivative with variant Polden Hill spring attachment. Missing spring, pin and lower bow; damaged rear hook and wing back and abraded bow front. The spring axis bar was enclosed in 4mm wide projections behind the wing terminals, and the chord was held by a rear hook. The wings have moulded terminals - a concave moulding flanked by grooves and a bead terminal. The bow has a slightly convex back and a rounded front. The upper bow has a centre rib defined by single grooves and an angled side rib; below this transverse grooves mark the top of a plain lower bow. Width 21.5mm, surviving length 20mm. This is a hybrid piece - the bow design resembles a hinged group of Colchester derivatives, particularly a comparably small eg from Hacheston (pubn no. 126), but the variant Polden Hill fixing is as Scole (Mackreth in Rogerson 1977, EAA5, 130 no.1). | 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
