Description: | The upper part of a Roman copper alloy bow and fantail brooch. There are three moulded ridges between the bow and the foot (missing). The bow is flared and sharply angled at the head, which is rectangular on the reverse and demarcated from the bow by a groove. The sides of the head are folded right round to the reverse, enclosing the spring at the sides (triangular in section) and partly on the reverse, where they have rounded ends. The spring remains in situ and is partly visible with the beginning of the pin protruding from its centre (now broken off). | Subjects: | Bow and fantail | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Ghey, Eleanor - British Museum | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
