Description: | A fragment of a cast copper alloy Roman brooch, probably a Rosette Keyhole type. The semi-tubular wings have a tubular copper alloy insert which contains an iron axis bar for the hinged pin mechanism. Fragments of the copper alloy pin are visible through a slot in the centre of the tubular insert. The bow is set at a ninety-degree angle to the wings and the flat circular part of the bow is set parallel to the wings. In the centre of the very worn circular bow is an incomplete possibly iron rivet, the rest of the bow is undecorated. It is truncated at the base of the bow and the foot is missing. The surviving length is 21.4mm, the diameter of the bow is 20.3mm, the length of the wings is 24.6mm, the thickness is 12.7mm and the weight is 8.50g. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Staves, Lisa - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
