Weight 7.39g. The two breaks appear to be old although they are not patinated The fragment is the bow part and possibly part of the foot of the brooch. It is sub-circular in cross-section throughout its length and throughout most of its length it is about 5mm in diameter although the lower part, 11mm in length, is much narrower and has a maximum diameter of 3.1mm. This narrower portion appears to be part of the foot and the break has occurred close to the position of the missing catch-plate. The piece is in good condition and has a mid-brown patina overall, except on the two breaks. | 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: | -400
