Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy Strip brooch of late Iron Age to early Roman date. The brooch measures 70.5g by 18.2g by 2.7g and weighs 7.6g. The surviving part comprises the bow, which has been bent straight, the incomplete triangular catchplate and one side of the cross-bar. The other side of the cross-bar, the spring, hook and pin are missing. The front of the bow is decorated with two vertical lines of linely incised knurling. About 15mm from the top of the bow there is a small circular perforation which contains copper alloy. This was presumably a rivet hole which held the backwards curving hook in place. No. 753 in Hattatt's 'Visual Catalogue' is broadly similar (2000, p. 296, fig. 155). This example is from London. | Subjects: | Strip | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Payne, Naomi - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
