Description: | A fragment of a 1st century Roman bow brooch, probably of Colchester type.
Only the foot section and the lower part of the bow survive. The bow is of thin section, with a flat underside and, at the middle of the upper surface, a vertical ridge with a central groove. The intact catchplate is unperforated and has a rolled outer edge. Iron corrosion, presumably from the otherwise missing pin, adheres to the catchplate.
The piece measures 23.4mm high, 5.2mm wide and 11.3mm deep. The weight is 2.55g. | Subjects: | Colchester type (probably) | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Watters, Julian - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
