Description: | An incomplete roman copper alloy Colchester derivative hinged brooch. It is missing half of the bow, the pin and catchplate. The brooch has cylindrical wings that encase the axis bar and have a rectangular slot at their centre where the now missing pin would have hinged. There are pairs of incised parallel grooves on the upper exterior surface of the wings. The bow is D-shaped in section with a raised central rib. At the top of the bow where it joins the wings are pairs of parallel incised grooves that outline a lozenge shape on the exterior surface of the bow. The fragment measures 23.03mm in length, 36.61mm in width, and weighs 9.21g.
A close parallel to this example is noted from excavation at Roman Hacheston (Blagg et al., 2004: no. 118). This brooch dates to the 1st to 2nd centuries AD. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Brown, Andrew | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
