Description: | a copper alloy Roman bow brooch, Knee type. It is complete except for the pin which is broken and the catchplate which is missing. The brooch has a semi-circular head plate with enclosed ends to hold the axis bar with a spring of four coils. There is a narrow crescent -shaped field which could have taken an enamel infill, at the top of the head. The bow is D-shaped, and the foot out-turned, with the vertical flange of the catchplate extending for 6.3mm from the foot base. The brooch measures 28.02mm in length and is 9.92mm in width. It weighs 2.39g. The shape of this brooch most closely ressembles Hattatt (BoA) 1987, fig.81 form b, although the bow in this Suffolk example is thinner. It dates to the second half of the second -early third century. | Subjects: | knee | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Carr, Jane - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
