Description: | Roman copper alloy and silver 'sawfish' T shaped brooch, 37.5mm long and 23.5mm wide. The brooch is in good condition with a silvered patina. The brooch has a hinged pin, of which a small length remains intact. It is set into circular sectioned arms which are decorated on each side with a single diagonal incised line. The bow tapers slightly in width towards the base and has decoration contained within two vertical incised lines which form an outer border down tits length. At the top is a raised almond shaped motif which is decorated with an incised chevron. Below this, and running the length of the bow, are two lines of triangular depressions which have traces of red enamal in them. The brooch terminates in a raised plain circular foot, 6mm in diameter. Behind this is a short but intact catchplate. The outside edges of the bow are also decorated with small triangular protrusions running most of its length. | Subjects: | sawfish | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Scott, Wendy - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
