Description: | Roman copper alloy bow brooch, 46mm long and 35mm wide. The brooch is in a fair condition with a dark green patina and weighs 16grams. The brooch is almost complete, except for a missing pin and damage to one wing. The wings, which were hinged, are decorated with three raised vertical bands. Where the bow joins the wings there is a raised diagonal border forming an inverted V. The decoration continues on the bow with a raised central ridge running its length which is flanked by a wider, shallower ridge on each side. The catchplate is formed of an elongated triangle which has had two-thirds of its lower edge curled up to form the catch. | Subjects: | Bow | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Scott, Wendy - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
