Description: | A damaged and incomplete Roman cast copper-alloy knee brooch. The head is an enclosed cylinder with a small chain loop, now broken, emerging centrally. The axis bar, spring and pin have all been lost. On one of the ends of the hood the hole has abraded through, on the other the side has been bent inwards slightly. In profile the bow is humped initially, and then has been bent to one side about halfway down as a result of old damage. The bow tapers in plan from 5.9mm below the head to 2.4mm above the foot. The foot itself is raised and is 4.05mm wide. At the foot is a highly abraded sub-triangular catchplate which travels c. 5.5mm up the leg. The seemingly plain brooch has corroded to a red-brown colour overlaid with large patches of mid-green corrosion product. | Subjects: | Knee | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Cady, Caitlin | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
