Description: | An incomplete, badly damaged and bent Roman Colchester derivative brooch, from the 1st century AD. The brooch has been cast in copper alloy. The remaining part of the brooch consists of an almost complete bow (with the foot and catchplate missing) and part of the wings.
The bow is long and tapering, but has been bent. The wings survive in full but are worn. The spring mechanism does not survive. The pin is also obviously missing. It is impossible to say how long the bow would have originally been. The metal is very worn and very corroded. The surface is pitted. The metal has a light greyish-green colour. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Andrews-Wilson, Liz - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
