Description: | Copper alloy bow brooch, probably a bow-and-fantail type. The brooch has plain slightly curved wings, from the back of which projects a pierced lug that acts as a hinge for the spring and pin. The bow has a half-rounded cross-section, with widened transverse sections at each end. The foot splays out to form a triangular plate, from the back of which projects a simple catchplate. The copper alloy spring and pin is intact, the coiled spring having 12 turns. Bow and fantail brooches date to the 1st to 2nd centuries AD. | Subjects: | Bow-and-fantail | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
