Description: | Cast copper alloy headstud bow brooch dating to from the Flavian period through to the late 2nd century AD.
The headloop has broken away. The spring is missing and the case has squared ends. Above the headstud is a rectangular raised ribbed panel. The headstud has a ribbed edge. There appears to have been no enamel on the headstud or bow. The bow is quite thin and tapers to a globular foot.
It is a very large example and so quite unusual. The catchplate is also very big for this type of brooch. | Subjects: | Headstud | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | McIntosh, Frances | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
