Description: | A Roman copper alloy bow brooch, a Colchester derivative type with rearward facing hook missing. It also lacks the pin, coil and catchplate. The wings are short and semi-cylindrical, and no decoration can be determined because the metal is worn. The bow has a flat back and rounded profile. Moulded decoration extends from the head down the length of the bow. The bow narrows toward its foot, and is incomplete due to old breaks which have also removed the catchplate. The brooch measures 30.41mm in length and 21.11mm in width. It weighs 6.12g.
A parallel for this brooch can be seen from Hatcheston, (Blagg et al 2004, p.94, fig.63, nos 71), and dates to the mid to later first century AD.. | Subjects: | Colchester derivative | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Carr, Jane - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
