Description: | Iron age or Roman brooch fragment, 40mm long, 8mm wide and 5mm thick. The object is in poor condition with a green patina and weighs 3.42grams. The object is sub rectangular in form and section. It consists of a flat plate which has slighly concave sides and which has a ridge running down its reverse. This is probably the remains of a catchplate. Above the plate is a more rounded section which begins with the base of a rectangular sectioned protrusion. There are a further two slight ridges along its length which could also be protrusions. the object could be a very worn Birdlip type brooch or even a European type such as Eg. 265, Fig.153 in Hattatt. | Subjects: | birdlip? | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Scott, Wendy - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
