Description: | The wings are semi-cylindrical with wing caps at the terminals. The wing caps have a single circular hole which supports the axis bar. The wing terminal are slightly stepped, and are therefore wider in diameter than the rest of the wings. Around the axis bar is the spring. Only a fragment of the pin remains, the break is not recent. The bow head is slightly hump-like, but is more angular and the bow is angled downwards at 90°. The bow had has a prominent angular hook towards the top of the reverse of the bow head. The side of the bow head has a small step outwards. The bow head is decorated with two parallel vertical linear grooves. This decoration stops where it meets a high-relief 'V' shape near the mid-point of the bow. Otherwise the bow is plain and tapers to a bulbous, circular sectioned foot. The bow is semi-circular in section. The catchplate is complete. The brooch has a light-green patina. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
