Description: | This Roman bow brooch in copper alloy, is circa the second half of the 1st century AD. It is very much in the mould of the ??Polden Hill?? type brooch. It has the characteristic semi cylindrical wings in which the spring sits on the axis bar, which in turn is held by the pierced plate at the wing tips. A simple backward lug holds the chord in place.
The head of the bow has a central knurled rib running down the spine and there are pronounced shoulders where the bow meets the wing. The lower half of the brooch and the pin are missing. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Trevaskus, Rod | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
