The brooch has a bulbous, sub rectangular section bow which expands to a triangular foot with a flat base. At the head of the brooch, where the bow meets the wings, there are two horizontal ribs. The head is semi-cylindrical and almost encloses the corroded spring. The axis bar is secured by two circular end plates of Polden Hill type. The pin is missing. There is substantial iron corrosion in the area of the spring. The brooch measures 30mm in length and the bow has a maximum width of 10mm. | 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: | 150
