Description: | What remains of the brooch is the catchplate. It is from a Roman brooch, but its type cannot be narrowed down further, probably dating to the first to second century. It is made cast copper alloy.
The lower portion of the bow remains. This is semi-circular in section and has a broken lower and upper terminal. In plan it gradually tapers towards the base. The catchplate is integral to the bow, and in plan is a sub-triangular shape. It has a circular hole in the centre as decoration. The edge opposite the bow is curved around to allow the pin to be held in place. The object has a matte grey/green surface.
The brooch measures 20.05mm long and 4.07mm wide across the bow. The catchplate is 10.7mm thick. It weighs 1.7g. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Bolton, Angie - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
