Description: | A copper alloy Roman knee brooch. The gently curving bow is D shaped in section; the bow tapers and curves forward to an oval forward facing foot with a flat bottom; the bow has two ribs of applied silver which run the length of the bow; the ribs are knurled; on both sides of the ribs are four triangular cells of enamel inlay; all contain traces of blue enamel. There are also four applied globules of silver positioned marginally between the enamel cells.
At the top of the bow, tubular wings encase the spring mechanism; the wings have end plates which are centrally pierced by an axis bar. The wings also have two silver knurled ribs, running their width. At the top of the wings, there is a small circular suspension loop. The pin is intact. | Subjects: | Knee | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
