Description: | Copper alloy brooch fragment, sawfish type. Upper half only, missing pin and most of headloop; some surface corrosion. The cast headloop is joined to the top of the wings; these fold around the hinge bar with a sharp bend top and bottom to give a narrow profile. There are two grooves at the ends (perhaps with a beaded intervening rib) and possibly an angled groove. The bow is flat-backed with a rounded top and parallel sides and a low convex front. It has small recttangular projections along the edges. At the top is a large relief lozenge shape with higher central rib. Just above the break are two small triangular holes, probably originally containing enamel. Width 25mm, surviving length 21mm. Type as Hattatt no. 30, though with larger centre relief feature. Sawfish type, related to Headstuds. Relatively uncommon in East Anglia (see also Hacheston, Blagg et al 2004, 100, no153) | 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: | 75
