Description: | A cast copper alloy Colchester type two-piece Roman brooch. The brooch is complete apart from the pin, which is missing. The bow is short and tapering. It has a thin raised ridge running down the spine; there is also a raised border ridge flanking each side of the bow. There is no terminating foot knob. The spring is formed of a chord of nine turns with an external chord. The axis bar is present and also of copper alloy. The catch plate is large and complete. It is pierced with a single circular perforation 1.72 mm in diameter. The brooch is in good condition, and has a dull, dark greenish brown patina. This brooch is similar to examples shown in Hattatt 2000, p297 figure 156. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | WALKER, Liz - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
