Description: | A bronze bow brooch of late Iron Age to early Roman date.
The brooch has two major elements: the head and the bow. The head is seperated from the bow by a double collar, with the head having incised leaf decoration, ending in a rolled head which would have taken the pin of the brooch. The bow of the brooch has a downward incised pattern along the outer edges of the bow leaving an undecorated central band. Just below the collar there is an incised chevron decoration. The width of the bow tapers from its widest at the collar to the foot of the brooch, which ends in a disc, with an incised band around its circumference. The catchplate is cast with no perforations. | Subjects: | Bow | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Collins, Robert - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
