Description: | Cast copper-alloy Colchester-derivative bow brooch of a type most commonly found in the south-west. Hinged pin, the copper-alloy axis bar is housed in narrow, circular-sectioned wings. Rounded tab projecting from the head. The bow is broad and has a step down each side which dies out where the bow narrows below the lower of two lozenge-shaped bosses, each with incised cross-hatching. Simple projecting foor-knob. The hinge of the pin is intact, but the pin itself is missing, Deep catchplate intact. Dull, pale green patina. A very similar brooch was found at Marlowe Car Park, Canterbury (MacKreth 1995, 961 no. 23 fig. 404) and from a Hadrianic-Antonine context at Caerleon (Brewer 1986, 170 fig. 54.6). | Subjects: | Colchester-derivative | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Worrell, Sally - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
