Description: | Roman (150-300AD) cast copper alloy knee brooch. The brooch is comprised of a semi-cylindrical headplate to accomodate the four sprung pin, which survives in tact. There is a chain loop at the centre of the headplate. The bow has a pronounced curve towards the headplate, and then a more gentle curve towards the foot. The foot curves slightly outwards, which gives the bow a distorted 'S' shape in profile. There is a rib along the length of the bow. The foot has a flat base, with a small, corroded, catchplate projecting on the reverse. The headplate is 11.04mm wide with a diameter of 6.08mm. The bow is 6.87mm wide towards the headplate, tapering to 3.64mm at the foot. The foot flares out, increasing its width to 5.61mm. The bow is 2.51mm thick and has a depth of 11.28mm. The brooch is 31.80mm long and weighs 4.56 grams. | Subjects: | Knee | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | McLean, Laura - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
