Description: | Copper alloy brooch, Colchester derivative type with rear hook spring attachment. Missing spring, pin; slight damage to the catchplate and wear on the front which is obscuring the detail of the decoration on the ribs. The wings have a broad concave moulding and a single narrow groove at the terminals. The broad (12.5mm wide) upper bow is almost rectangular in section. A central concave moulding flares out slightly at the mid bow and is flanked by four narrow ribs separated by three narrow grooves. The middle two ribs on each side have traces of diagonal incised hatching. The lower bow has a more convex front with no decoration and tapers sharply to a blunt point with a single transverse groove just above. The catchplate is not pierced. Width 22mm, length 33mm. An example from Gosbeck, Suffolk is similar in its decorative arrangement but with a slightly narrower upper bow; rear hook types are generally East Anglian and 1st century. | 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
