Description: | A copper alloy small long brooch. The brooch has a sub-rectangular head with a pierced semi-circular lug in the reverse. Traces of iron corrosion in this area are likely to have come from the pin (now lost). The surface of the head is now worn but traces of dot-and-circle decoration remain on the top edge. The arched bow has a triangular facet where it meets the head. A flat panel at the top of the foot ends in two semi-circular side indentations. Below this are four ridges separated by grooves between. Here the foot starts to widen to a plain flared terminal. A rectangular catchplate with a curved, rounded edge extends from the centre of the upper part of the foot. The thickness of the bow is 3.12mm. | 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: | 400
