Description: | 2 fragments of a copper alloy late Iron Age - Roman brooch of an Aucissa variant type. The head is 12.2mm wide and approximately 8.6mm long, and is folded over underneath itself to hold a copper alloy pin bar. There is a central notch to take the pin, which is missing, and the left part of the head has broken off at this notch but was found with the main fragment. Below the pin mechanism the head is decorated with 3 transverse parallel incised lines. There are very sharp shoulders where the head joins the bow, almost right angles. The bow is 7.9mm wide at the top narrowing to 2.4mm at the foot. It is decorated with 3 moulded grooves along its length. The foot 3.0mm wide and 2.8mm long and is a terminal knob with a collar above. The catchplate begins under the middle of the foot and extends 21.5mm along the bow. It is triangular in shape, but the actual catch part is missing, as is a small triangular notch. | Subjects: | Aucissa-derivative | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
