It is missing the pin and part of the lug and catchplate due to old breaks, now worn.It has a flat rectangular head notched on the lower edge, to either side of the bow and on the upper corners. On the back face of the head plate is the remains of an integrally cast pin lug. The bow is D-shaped in section and faceted, with a concave back face. At the base of the bow is the foot. This is flat and rectangular with a rounded terminal. The front face of the foot is decorated with a series of worn transverse grooves. The outer edge of the terminal of the foot is possibly decorated with worn punched circle decoration. On the back face of the foot is the remains of a semi-circular catchplate.This brooch measures 67.95mm in length, 19.99mm in width at the head, 7.59mm in width at the bow, 3.95mm in thickness, 11.55g in weight.There is a similar example recorded from Suffolk (cf West, 1998, no. 124.4). | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
