Description: | Cast copper alloy bow fragment of a Colchester derivative brooch of uncertain type. Half of the catch plate remains at the base of the bow. The bow has two moulded ribs running vertically along its length and horizontal oblique lines running outwards from either side of the ribs. The angle of the bow to the remains of the catchplate is about 70?? so the fragment of the bow has not yet begun to curve into its full shape as it approaches the head of the brooch, which is missing.
Hattatt (2000) illustrates a similar example on page 298, Fig.157, No.1508, which is dated to the 1st century AD. | Subjects: | Colchester derivative | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Tyacke, Anna - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
