The front of the bow has a long moulded decorative panel with a design of raised diamonds along it. Originally the cells around the raised diamonds would have been filled with coloured enamel, nut now only small fragments remain and the colour cannot be distinguished. At the top of the bow is an integral moulded headstud, a raised disc with a central boss set in a cell of enamel, again very little survives and colour is indeterminate. The head is small, the wings decorated with linear grooves. On top of the head are 2 lugs, the broken remains of a suspension loop. Behind the head is a notch to take a hinged copper alloy pin, a short length of with survives. | 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: | 100
