Description: | Copper alloy brooch, Colchester derivative type with rear hook spring attachment. Missing spring, pin; damaged rear hook and catchplate; bow bent; areas of corrosion. There are traces of possible solder within the wings in the middle and to the right (viewed from the back). The wings have two broad concave mouldings separated by narrow grooves and narrow beaded ribs. There are slight traces of white metal coating on the wings and on the front of the bow. The bow has a flat back and tapers to a blunt point. The sides are slightly convex and rise steeply to a centre rib defined by single grooves. On the upper bow single curving angled grooves on the sides define a triangle each side of the centre. There is a probable transverse groove at the foot. Width 30mm, surviving length 42mm. A very similar example is recorded from Ashbocking, Suffolk (ABK 001, and other comparab;le ones from Brandon (BRD 036) and Withersfield (WTH 004). | 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
