Description: | T-shaped enamelled bow brooch. Tubular wings that curve slightly downwards support the hinge mechanism which is complete with pin. The front face of the wings is flattened. The top of the head is squared-off. It supports an integral chain loop which is positioned at the back of the head above the centrepoint of the wings. The bow is slightly plano-convex in section, the front face of which is decorated with three vertical panels inlaid with coloured enamel. Traces of orange enamel remain in two of the panels. At the junction of the bow and the leg is a horizontal moulding consisting a groove between two ridges. Beneath the lower ridge is a short vertical ridge. The straight leg is plano-convex in section and ends in a trace of a foot knob. The catchplate extends almost the length of the leg. It is generally accepted that this type of brooch dates from the late 1st-into the 2nd century AD (see Hattatt 1987) | Subjects: | Bow brooch | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Herepath, Nick - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
