Description: | A fragment of a copper alloy late Iron Age - early Roman Aucissa variant type brooch. The head is 12.2mm wide and 9.4mm long and is folded back on itself with the top plate shouldered and tapering to a point. The fold holds a pin bar, and the head is notched to take the coper alloy pin, which is now broken with only the end remaining. Below the head the brooch has tapering shoulders leading to the bow. The bow itself is approximately 55mm long and slender, narrowing to 4.4mm wide at the foot. There is a single central copper alloy rivet at the top of the bow, presumably to attach a decorative plate which is now missing. The foot is small, 4.5mm long and 4.7mm wide, and is moulded in shape of a barrel with a collar at the top and bottom. The catchplate starts at the junction of the foot and the bow and extends for 26mm along the bow, but has largely broken off. | Subjects: | Aucissa-derivative | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
