Description: | Roman copper alloy bow brooch, 45mm long, 35mm wide and 10mm deep. The brooch is in fair condition with a brown patina and weighs 11.12grams. The brooch consists of a semi-circular sectioned wing which has decoration at each edge. This consists of a wide vertical indented line, 2mm in from the edge, which is bordered by a raised vertical line with diagonal incisions running down its surface. The bow is semi-circular in section and slightly bowed. It has a central raised ridge running down its length. The upper end of this has a diagonal ridge 12mm long running from it to the outside edge of the bow. This is decorated with a series of diagonal incisions which give a rope effect. This motif is repeated half way down the bow and this terminates at the point where the catchplate begins. The catchplate emerges at a sharp angle from the bow and has a circular hole, 1.5mm in diameter, in its centre. The catchplate appears to be triangular in form and its lower edge turns back on itself 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 |
