Description: | A copper-alloy Roman bow brooch of Colchester derivative hinged type, complete apart from the tip of the copper-alloy pin. The wings are folded round to form a cylindrical case around the axis bar on which the pin is hinged in the centre. The wings are decorated with two transverse grooves, one at the end and one near to the bow and between these there is a single diagonal groove. The bow is D-shaped in cross-section and undecorated. The catchplate is small and bent over to hold the now missing tip of the pin in place. It measures 30.81mm in length and 22.72mm in width. | Subjects: | Colchester derivative hinged type | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Minter, Faye - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
