The C-shaped wings appear to have a moulded pattern of vertical ribs running along the upper long edge. Each wing is decorated with two circular knops with verticle ribs attached via copper-alloy rivets that are clearly visibile on the rear of the wings. There is damage to the short edge of the right wing. A rearhook projects from the centre of the brooch head. The bow is damaged at the lower edge and the foot is missing. There is a horizontal groove at the top of the bow and there was possibly a linear pattern of dots running along the centre of the bow but this has largely been corroded. The bow arches back from the head and tapers to the foot. To either side is an undecorated moulded ridge following the curve of the bow. The catch plate is missing. There is a prodtruding ridge on the rear of the bow, commencing approximately halfway along its length, from which would have widened to form an openwork catchplate. The spring, axis bar, and pin are missing.
The brooch is covered with a dark green patina and is pitted and abraded.
See Mackreth, D.F, 2011, Vol. I, p. 68 & Vol. II, p. 45, pl. 42, no. 8075.
The brooch measures 51.51 mm length, is 35.61 mm width across wings, 5.04 mm width across bow, is 6.04 mm thick across the bow (at the same point). It weighs 16.46 grams.Colchester Derivative2121502004WAW2024-02-19T00:00:00Z2024-02-19T00:00:00ZMackreth type CD RH 7.b2024-03-20T12:48:04Z2024-03-20T15:30:42ZPAS65FADB04001AFB5.0435.6151.511712138904334138904County of HerefordshireCounty of HerefordshireActon BeauchampSO684952.13836247-2.46897493bands.shops.handy10WAW-AECFC6Copper alloy10627IncompleteROMANx41218ROMANx41218x41218Metal detectorReturned to finderWAW-ADB04A_65fb0004284bc.jpg1268872images/jackparkin/Certain12024-03-20T15:30:42.996Zfinds-11547731154773WMID-B1B397COINPOST MEDIEVALAn incomplete silver sixpence of Elizabeth I (AD 1558 to AD 1603), dating to AD 1566, issued as part of the second coinage between AD 1561 and AD 1582.

Weight: 20.8gJews harps or jews trumps have been around for many centuries,with a wide geographical distribution, forming an important element of traditional music (Leahy and Lewis 2018: 198). Most found tend to be Post Medieval in date, although medieval examples are also discovered. The iron spring strip, which was plucked on the instrument whilst the harp was held in the teeth, rarely survives in archaeological examples.3636150018004HESH2024-01-30T13:48:05Z2024-03-01T08:12:41Z20.8PAS65B8FE150012BA7.110.865.6171214142638904355138904County of HerefordshireCounty of HerefordshireLeominsterSO525752.20911874-2.70387328bands.shops.handy10WMID-18DF3DCopper alloy10627IncompletePOST MEDIEVALx41047POST MEDIEVALx41047x41047Metal detectorReturned to finderHESH-8FE153_65b8fe6962bb0.jpg1260479images/israk/West MidlandsCertain12024-03-01T08:12:41.634Zfinds-11479311147931HESH-8F99F2VESSELMEDIEVALAn fragment of a cast copper alloy pot leg dating to the broad Medieval period, circa AD 1400-1600.

The object is C-shaped in plan, tubular and ovular in cross-section. There is a projecting rectangular lug on the outer curve of the object, which terminates in an uneven break. The top of the object ends in a flat break, with a small projection at the bottom of the break. The bottom curve of the object has an uneven break where the front of the object is missing, showing the back and inside of the handle which curves upwards.

The axis bar, spring, pin, foot, catch plate, and most of the wing caps are missing.
The head of the brooch is 20.8mm wide, including the wings which are semi-cylindrical in shape. The caps at the end of the wings which would have held the spring and coil in place are missing. The head itself is humped shaped. At the front of the head, there is the remnants of a rearward facing hook. Roughly half of the bow of the brooch remains. It tapers in length from 9.8mm at the junction between the head and the wings, to 2.9mm at its terminal. The beginning of the moulding for the catch plate can be seen at the base of the bow.
The brooch has been abraded during its time within the soil and consequently much of its original surface has been lost. The underside of the bow has been less exposed to wear and retains a smooth surface with a well developed patina. Generally, the brooch is a light brown colour due to remnants of the soil on its surface, with smaller patches of dark green visible.
Similar examples can be found in Mackreth, Brooches In Late Iron Age - Roman Britain. For example, Chapter 3, Plate 51, No. 13527, which was excavated from Wall and has been dated to the mid-late second century.2121801204HESH2024-01-30T10:40:46Z2024-02-12T13:23:56Z5.9PAS65B8D22E00169310.120.833.31712114142638904343238904County of HerefordshireCounty of HerefordshireAllensmoreSO473652.01987594-2.77376219bands.shops.handy10HESH-A32173Copper alloy10627CastIncompleteROMANx41218ROMANx41218x41218Metal detectorReturned to finderHESH-8D22E6_65b8d241e7292.jpg1260354images/petercarey/West MidlandsCertain12024-02-12T13:23:56.095Z
