Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy Colchester-type brooch (Roman 1st century AD). The head plate has two perforations, one above the other, the axis bar passes through the lower one. The spring is damaged and there are only 3.5 turns of the spring remaining and half of the external chord that passes through the upper perforation. There is 21.90mm length of pin remaining. The wings are semi-cylindrical (ends are missing) and partly cover the spring. The bow narrows towards the foot and is decorated with a raised midrib and three grooves that extend along the bow. The brooch is broken across the bow and the catchplate and the foot are missing. The breaks have the same mid-green matt patina as the surface. Length: 38.81mm; width of wings: 21.28mm; width of bow: 12.39 narrowing to 5.60mm; weight: 8.78g. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Sumnall, Kate - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
