Description: | The lower bow and foot of a copper-alloy Roman, 3rd century AD crossbow brooch, most similar to Hattatt no 101. Measuring 44.14mm in surviving length and 4.57mm in width. The bow is roughly D-shaped in section with a flat inner face and central longitudinal ridge. At its base there is a transverse moulded semi-circular projection and below this a less pronounced bulge. The foot is U-shaped in section and tapers to a rounded point, the back face is hollow to accmodate the pin, and the catchplate is now fragmentary due to old breaks. The brooch has a white metal coating. | Subjects: | cross bow | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Minter, Faye - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
