Description: | Incomplete copper alloy Late Iron Age/ Early Roman brooch, a derivative of the Aucissa of the Strip-bow type. It is missing its hinged pin and the catchplate is damaged (the curl is missing). The brooch is curving ever so slightly in profile. The wings (which curve underneath the head) are wider than the top of the bow at 14.5mm to 7.5mm, and edges of the head angles inwards to the bow over 6mm. The bow proper is 46mm long to the foot, narrowing to a point. A central 1mm wide groove runs down the centre for the length of the bow and is decorated with pairs of punched dots. The catchplate is 9mm but 6.5mm deep and missing its curl. Length 51mm. Weighs 2.32g. Cf WILT-146EC3 thought probably to be a local type and dating to mid-1st century. This in turn is compared with WILT-76DEC4. | Subjects: | Strip-bow Aucissa derivative | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Hinds, Katie - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
