Description: | The foot and incomplete catchplate of a Roman bow brooch. The bow has a deep central groove, giving it a U-shaped section and shollow grooves bound trasnverse hatching on the top faces each side. The foot terminal is missing. The surviving part of the catchplate is unusual in having light incised decoration on both faces consisting of hatched and open triangles. This foot measures 23.27mm in surviving length and the width across the catchplate is 10.89mm, across the bow is 6.09mm.
This brooch is probably 1st century in date and the only known parallel from Suffolk is another foot fragment from Little Cornard (COL 009). | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Minter, Faye - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
