Description: | A copper-alloy Roman bow brooch of Colchester derivative with rear hook type. Missing spring, and pin, measuring 37.48mm in length and 20.34mm in width. The wings are semi-cylindrical and decorated with a central a terminal transverse moulding. The rear hook, on the top centre of the wings would have held the spring cord originally and is now incomplete due to an old break. The tapering bow is D-shaped in section and has a central longitudinal groove between two longitudinal mouldings. The catch plate is worn and incomplete. There is iron staining on the back face so possibly the pin was iron. | Subjects: | Colchester derivative with rear hook type | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Minter, Faye - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
