Description: | Copper alloy brooch, Colchester derivative type with three rear hooks to hold the spring. Missing one wing, spring and pin; areas of iron stained concretion. The surviving wing has a broad concave moulding next to the bow junction and a rib which extends into a rear facing hook at 1.5mm from the wing end. The bow is flat backed with flat vertical sides and a rounded front and it tapers to a small flat end. A central reserved band contains two notched ribs and there is a single transverse groove at the foot. The cast catchplate has no holes nor groove. Length 43mm, surviving width 18mm. An example from Snettisham (Mackreth in EAA 93, 2001, no.14) also has the "hybrid fixing style" of three rear hooks, and is also described as having a central buried ridge but is otherwise different in proportions and form. The decorative style occurs on typical rear hook types such as Hacheston (Blagg et al 2004, EAA 106, no.74). | 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
