Description: | Incomplete & very worn cast copper-alloy Roman bow brooch.
The brooch is a Colchester two-piece derivative type with a fragmented lug projecting from the head of the bow which would have been pierced to secure the chord of the spring as part of the pin fitting.
The wings of the brooch are semi-circular in shape and carry decoration in the form of four incised grooves at either end. None of the spring or pin remains. The bow itself, of which about only one third is present, carries moulded decoration in the form of a plain raised median rib with a groove to either side. The bow is sub-round in section. The top of the median rib on the bow is decorated with a series of incised transverse grooves. The lower part of the bow and catchplate are missing.
This brooch is dated c.40-100 AD. | Subjects: | Colchester Derivative | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Burrill, Charlotte - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
