Description: | Copper alloy brooch, Colchester derivative rear hook type with fantail foot. Missing spring, pin, rear hook, catchplate; damaged wingscorroded margins and patches. Traces of grooves on the wing stubs. The bow is flat backed with a low rounded face. The main bow element tapers very slightly, but it has thinner flat panels expaning from midway along the bow to form a broad (16mm) fantail foot. The bow has a central pair of longitudinal grooves flanking a narrow, possibly beaded, centre rib. Length 30mm, surviving width 12mm. Similar to Hattatt's Wing and Fanbow type, particularly his no.1482 from near Bradwell, Norfolk, but that eg has the fan element starting from the upper bow. Also an eg recorded from Stratford St Andrew, Suffolk (SSA 002, no.7) which is also corroded. | 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
