BOW BROOCH

Unique ID: SF10016

Copper alloy brooch, Colchester type. Missing part spring, pin, part catchplate; very corroded. The small flat wings appear undecorated though with a possible vertical rib.The bow is oval in section tapering to a point with a central decorated band - which has been badly affected by corrosion. The decoration is regular and angular within a sunken band and probably similar to King Harry Lane Grave 205 no.4; the profile is also similar with a slight kick at the top of bow and a moderate curve. The catchplate has traces of two rectilinear perforations. Surviving width (wings) 13mm, length 59mm.
