Description: | A copper alloy Roman knee brooch which is 41.2mm long, 22.6mm wide and 15.5mm thick. The brooch has a thick and wide bow which is bulbous and undecorated. It tapers to a point at the foot. The reverse is hollow. The headplate consists of short rounded wings with a flat, thick, damaged headloop above. The area at the back of the wings is concave but no trace of the pin mechanism survives. Neither is there any evidence for the catchplate. The brooch can be paralleled by number 54 in Roman Brooches from North England (1993) by Snape. Knee brooches are believed to date from the mid second to third century. | Subjects: | knee | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Cooper, Amy - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
