Description: | Copper alloy Roman bow brooch dating to the 2nd century. The brooch is a Thealby type. The brooch has tubular wings with grooves around each one and would have had a hinged pin (although this does not survive). At the top of the head, there would have been a decorative cast head loop although this has broken away. The bow has decorative longitudinal grooves which join together to form a single groove at the moulded foot. The surface of the brooch has been tinned or silvered and part of this surface survives.
Only a small amount of the catch plate survives. The brooch measures 41.38mm in length, 18.88mm in width and 16.1mm in thickness. | Subjects: | Thealby | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Marshall, Anna - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
