Description: | Roman 'Wirral' type bow brooch. Bow of semi-oval section decorated on its flat front surface with a rectangular panel containing three long strips that would have originally been infilled with coloured enamel but are now empty. The bow has a groove down each edge. There is also a pair of parallel horizontal grooves immediately below the decorative panel. At the V-shaped junction between the bow and the leg is a projecting stud. The inward curving leg narrows sharply and has a groove down either edge. The leg terminates in a rounded foot knob. Much of the surface of the leg and rounded foot knob is lost to corrosion. The sub-rectangular head plate comprises a step at the top of the bow, bearing knurled decoration, to a plain band topped with a further band of knurled decoration. The integrally cast head loop is missing. The hinge mechanism and pin are missing. | Subjects: | Wirral type | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Herepath, Nick - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
