Description: | A fragment of a copper-alloy Roman bow/fibula type brooch. The form of the piece suggests that it may be part of a Hod Hill type brooch of mid 1st century date.
Only the foot section and the lower part of the bow remain. The bow is of thin, triangular section and has a vertical ridge extending down the centre of the upper surface. The width of the bow tapers rapidly towards the foot, where there is a projecting knob decorated with three horizontal moulded bands. The catchplate is unperforated and the outer edge is rolled.
The fragment measures 28.4mm high, 7mm wide and 10.9mm deep. The weight is 2.22g. | Subjects: | Hod Hill type (possibly) | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Watters, Julian - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
