Description: | Bow brooch. Wide arched bow decorated across its width with vertical grooves and ridges. At the head is a stepped moulding to a plate, the tri-lopbed shape of which may be due to loss through corrosion. The plate is incised with a longitudinal X. A pair of pierced lugs on the back of the stepped moulding would have supported the pin for the hinge. Traces of corrosion suggest the axis bar was iron. The pin is missing. Beneath the bow is a repeat of the step at the head leading to a rectangular plate (some loss to corrosion) which is also incised with an X. At the back of the plate is the catchplate which contains a remnant of the corroded iron pin. | 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: | 100
