Description: | Copper alloy brooch, Knee type with curved profile. Missing pin and most of spring; some surface corrosion. The spring was iron, also with an iron axis bar which was held in holes in the circular endplates of the spring cover. The bow is a slightly tapering strip, in profile an S-shape which is truncated by the flat trapezoidal foot. The only decoration is the transverse ribs at the top and middle of the bow. The catchplate is a horizontal hook. Width 19.5mm, length 31mm. The type is as Hattatt's no 1227, his Fig 81 type h which he groups with native British types. Snape (BAR 1993) defines this, very standardised form, as her Group 5.3 and refers to previous work suggesting that the curvilinear profile of this group suggests a British origin. | 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: | 180
