Description: | Copper alloy brooch, Colchester derivative type with double pierced lug spring attachment. Complete excep for damage to the pin end; the bow is bent and has corresponding recent surface damage on the front and side. The spring has ten turns, only four to the right of the lug. The wings have a double groove at the terminals. The bow has a slightly convex back and a well rounded front; it tapers slightly to a flat end. The bow is undecorated except for a single transverse groove at the foot. The catchplate has a large trapezoidal hole, and it is thick especially along the upper edge which is 3mm wide, contracting to form a pin groove at the fold. Width 21mm, length 36.6mm. A plainer brooch from Withersfield, Suffolk (WTH 004) is similar in form. | 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
