Description: | Copper alloy brooch fragment, Colchester derivative type with double pierced lug spring attachment. Upper bow only, missing most of spring, pin; heavily corroded at top of bow. The spring attachment consists of a pierced lug projecting at the back, for the axis bar of the spring; the surviving fragment of the spring chord passes through a hole towards the front, with a slight rib continuing the line of the lug on the top of the bow. The wings are flat backed and very shallow (about 2mm thick). The bow is flat backed with a very low convex front. It rises from the full width of the wings, curving in to a near parallel sided 10mm wide strip. The front is decorated with at least five longitudinal ribs. Width 18mm, surviving length 21mm. This is a varaint of the double lug type of Colchester in that the pierced lug is angled forwards and the bow is nearly flat - it has similarities to some Colchseter types eg Hattatt no.1456. | 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
