Description: | A fragment from a Romano-British cast copper alloy knee brooch, dating to the 3rd or 4th centuries. The brooch has a fan-shaped spring casing, and though the bow seems unornamented, there is evidence that white metal was soldered onto by way of ornament. The fragment thus has a patchy green patina, with areas of silvery lustre.
The foot and catchplate are not extant. The fragment measures 17.7mm in length, 10.1mm in width, and 2.1mm in maximum thickness. It weighs 1.8g. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Ashby, Steven - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
