Description: | Copper alloy brooch, Colchester derivative type, hinged. Missing pin; the bow is bent with surface damage at the middle, probably where the plough hit it; some damage to the catchplate fold. The wings have two grooves at the terminals. The bow is flat backed; at the top it has small side flanges and the convex sides meet at a centre narrow slight rib. At about one-third along the bow the side flanges stop, giving a narrower D-section bow which tapers to a long pointed area; this expands behind into the catchplate. Width 29mm, length 65mm. An unusual hinged / T-shaped variant, perhaps related to more western British types than East Anglian? | 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
