Description: | Fragment of a copper alloy Roman bow brooch.
The brooch is badly corroded all over, the bow at the bottom is very thin due to this. The pin and the pin mechanism are both missing. It would have been on hinged on an axial bar fittting in the back of the head. Most of the catchplate has broken off but a small part can still be seen. The bow has broken off before the foot and just tapers to a point. The brooch is of a dolphin style (due to the humped crest of the bow). Roman bow brooches were in use from the mid-first century through to the mid 3rd century. This style dates mainly to the mid 1st century. | Subjects: | Bow | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | McIntosh, Frances | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
