Details
Description
The head is obscured by concretion and it is not possible to say wheather it was inscribed with the makers name but it is very typical of the Aucissa-type brooches found in Britain. It has the usual features: the highly-arched centrally ribbed upper bow, the flat head rolled back to form a narrow tube holding the axial rod for the hinge and the short foot ending in a knob which is a sepparate casting. It seems also to have separate knobs at the ends of the hinge axis.
