Description: | Copper alloy brooch, small Colchester derivative rear hook type. Missing spring, pin, otherwise in good condition. The back of the wings has probable solder residue on the right side (viewed from back). The wing fronts have an angled and a terminal groove. The bow has convex front and back, giving a lentoid section, and tapers to a blunt point. A narrow central rib on the bow has slight traces of horizontal hatching. There are strong single angled grooves on the upper bow, along the junction with the wings, and narrower angled grooves below to outline a lozenge shape on the upper bow. The catchplate is solid. Width 19mm, length 26mm. Similar very small rear hook types are recorded from Wenhaston, Suffolk (WMH 005) with angled grooves on the bow and South Elmham (SEY 017) with centre rib, but with flat backed bows. | 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
