Description: | Late Roman copper alloy crossbow brooch fragment, 38mm long and 32mm wide. The object is in a fair condition with a green patina and represents the upper part of the brooch. The bow is rectangular in section and is plain. The right arm is intact with just a 'stump' of the left remaining. The arm is also rectangular in section and terminates with an 'onion' shaped terminal which has a raised collar at its base. There is also a similar protrusion present in the centre of the arm which sits on a raised sub rectangular area. The reverse of this protrusion has a vertical depression just over a millimetre wide which runs from its centre and down the reverse of the arm. It has traces of a pin protruding from the lower edge of the arm. The brooch is similar to 103, fig 228 in Hattatt's ancient brooches. | Subjects: | crossbow | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Scott, Wendy - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
