Description: | Fragment of a cast, copper alloy 'parallel wing' terret. The ring of this terret would have been decorated with three groups of 'wings', a group on each side, with one set at the top. The wings run parallel to the ring (rather than at 90° to wing as with 'transverse wing' terrets). The attachement bar on this particular example is inset and rectangular in section. Parallel wing terrets are uncommon, there is only one other recorded example known from Norfolk, which was recovered from Brampton. The most well known examples of these terret types are those from the Polden Hill hoard which was recovered in Somerset (Brailsford, PPS 41, 1975). A date in the first century AD seems most likely. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
