Description: | Copper alloy brooch, headstud type (with some variant features). Missing spring, pin; damaged hook; bow bent (flattened); corroded. The spring was held in the arc of the wings with a single large lug at the centre and with a forward hook for the chord - there would also have been a separate wire headloop. The wing fronts have a double rib moulding at the ends.The bow is rectangular in section and tapering with a single groove along the edges. A small circular headstud is held by a rivet through the top of the bow. Below this a lozenge shaped cell contains red enamel fragments. There is a triangle of three punched dots, now rather indistinct, above and below the enamelled lozenge. The foot is cylindrical and projects forward, with notched ribs around the outside. On the end of the foot an annular cell contains red enamel. Width 27mm, surviving length 65mm. This type is Snape's group 3.1C.i, as Snape 1993, 33 no.3 from Corbridge Red House, but the simplified bow decoration and the elaborate forward projecting foot are uncommon. | 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: | 80
