Description: | Copper alloy brooch fragment, Colchester derivative type with three rear hooks spring attachment. Upper half onlly, missing spring, pin; damage to rear hooks,; some corrosion. The back of the wings has corrosion with spring impressions suggesting possible solder across the full width. On the front of the wings at the terminals narrow ribs, defined by single grooves, continue the line of the two additional rear hooks. The bow is D-section, slightly tapered and with a central narrow band defined by single grooves also continuing the line of the rear hook; there are traces of hatching/beading on this narrow band. The ribs on the wings might have been similarly beaded. Width 28mm, surviving length 27mm. The use of three rear hooks instead of one is uncommon but occurs on two (?) examples from Snettisham, Norfolk (Mackreth, 2001, EAA 93, nos 14, 15); an eg from Stuston (Scole report, pending, SUS 005 2051) is similar. | 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
