Description: | An incomplete copper alloy Colchester derivative brooch, probably Polden Hill type. The wings are semi-circular with a wing cap at each end. The axis bar, spring and pin are missing. There is an impression of the spring on interior of the wings. The bow head is humped and decorated with a 'V' shaped ridge. The bow tapers towards a broken edge. This break is not a recent break. The catchplate is therefore also missing. The surface of the brooch has patches of a light green coloured patina, otherwise the surface is corroded and abraded.
The length of the brooch from the upper edge of the bow head to the lower edge of the bow is 24.8mm and the width across the wings is 31.3mm. The brooch weighs 9.63g. | 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: | 75
