Description: | Copper alloy brooch, Colchester derivative type with rear hook spring attachment. The spring, pin, part of a wing, rear hook and catchplate are missing and the foot is damaged. The surfaces are corroded, especially on the front. Deposits across the whole of the back of the wings may be traces of solder for the spring. The wing has a broad concave moulding and rib. The bow is convex at the back with a low rounded face. The upper bow has notched ribs separated by narrow grooves, which stop at a slight step mid bow, below which it is plain. Surviving length 32mm, surviving width 18mm. Very similar to an example from Hacheston (EAA 2004, no. 76) and other Suffolk examples from Sibton and Alderton. | 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
