Description: | A copper-alloy unidentified object probably Roman in date, superficially resembles a Roman bow brooch with a head stud (Hattatt 1989, 332, no 426). However, it is cast in one, it has a rectangular curvilinear shaft or bow, possibly with crude worn triangular indented cells along its edges although wear makes thie possible decoration unclear. One end is incomplete due to an old break. The other end has an oval projection on its upper face, similar to a head stud, and then curves downwards flaring in width with a cylindrical bar, which appears to be integral, through its centre.
It is possible this object is a test piece, template or experimental brooch but no published parallel could be found. It measures 23.71mm in length and 11.17mm in width across the 'head' and 6.12mm across the 'bow.' | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Minter, Faye - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
