Missing spring, pin, rear hook and catchplate; Wings damaged at the back; patches of surface damage due to corrosion all over, particularly on wings and lower bow. The spring was hels by a rear hook and by 8mm wide extensions of the wings enclosing the ends of the axis bar. The central back area of the wings (normally concealed by the spring) is flat. The wings have a single angled groove and a single terminal groove. The bow is oval in section and tapers to a blunt point. It has a central sunken band with two reserved wavy lines. The catchplate was held in a slot visible on the back and end of the bow. Width 33mm, length 57mm. Published examples of this specific type include Scole (EAA 5, Mackreth 1977, no.2) and West Stow (EAA 48, West 1989, no. 160), and unpublished egs are recorded from Suffolk. Probably an East Anglian and early Roman group. | 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
