Description: | Incomplete cast copper alloy birdlip brooch. The head is missing on the brooch, and now begins at the top with an incomplete circular sectioned curved shank. There is a triple collar below this, which has a larger central reel, and a smaller, narrower reel to either side. Below the collar is a moulded upturned hook or 'beak'. The bow is slightly convex and tapers to the foot end, which is incomplete. There is a catchplate on the reverse. The surface of the brooch has an even brownish patina with random indentations exposing a fairly bright green copper corrosion beneath it.
Birdlip brooches are thought to be British variants of the continental Flugelfibel brooch. | 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: | -50
