Description: | Copper alloy bow brooch, 'Wilsford' type with a missing pin. It has tubular wings one with probable mis-casting. There is a hole at the back to house the axis bar which is missing. There is a large notch between for the head of the hinged pin which is missing. At the ends of the wings on the front are moulded grooves and ridges, there are two grooves at each of the ends. The sides of the upper bow are deeply moulded. Each has three pairs of wide ribs with a groove between, each pair separated by a wide v-shaped groove. The ribs taper to the back of the bow and get progressively smaller down the bow. Between this is a channel running longitudinally with a slight raised rib in the centre. The ribs stop 2/3 down the upper bow thereafter it is plain and recessed from the height of the ribs. Below the upper bow is a projecting semi-circular knop with a groove above, below and moulded decoration of semi-circles top and bottom. The leg is tapering with decoration of three lozenge cells containing enamel of blue, red then blue. At the base is a semi-circular foot knob with diagonal moulded grooves. At the back is a catchplate, 3/4 of the length of the leg, with a missing hook. The bow is lozenge sectioned overall.
