Description: | Copper alloy brooch, Colchester derivative type with rear hook spring attachment. Missing spring, pin; damaged left wing, rear hook and catchplate (the latter very recently); bow bent with recent plough scratch; some surface corrosion. The wings are moulded: two pairs of notched ribs flank a broader plain rib. The bow back is slightly convex; the front convex and it tapers to a blunt point. There are traces of a single groove along the edges and a central decorated band where three grooves define two ?notched narrow ribs. In profile the bow runs around the lower part of the wings as well as over the top to join the rear hook. The catchplate has a row of lightly incised rocker decoration along the bow junction edge on both faces. Width 25mm, surviving length 52mm. Similarities to egs from Ramsholt (RMS 011 no.157) and Ipswich (IPSMG 1931-50-22) and the bow decoration comparable to Hacheston (publication no 74). | 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
