Description: | Copper alloy brooch fragment, Colchester derivative / Polden Hill type with rear hook. Upper half only, missing spring, pin, most of the end plates and the rear hook; corroded areas. The wing end plates were originally circular with a central hole for the axis bar; the chord was held by the rear hook. The wings have traces of mouldings towards the terminals. The bow is circular in section and tapering; it has a central rib on the upper part, continuing the line of the rear hook. To each side there is a band of decoration, badly damaged but apparently defined by single grooves and with angled hatching. Surviving length 24mm, width 24mm. No close parallels identified in local material. | 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
