Description: | Cast and drawn length of copper alloy wire, fashioned into the spring and hinge for a Roman bow brooch, probably dated to the period 50-250AD. The wire has been coiled around a length of iron which would have functioned as an axis bar to the brooch. The wire is sub-circular in cross section and has been wound into a section of spring, which is incomplete. This fragment consists of four turns, of which the final one extends forming the pin. The pin is tapered along its length terminating in a sharp point. The cross section of the wire measures 1.8mm and the spring / pin measures 16.9mm length, 19.4mm width and is 4.8mm thick. It weighs 1.08 grams. | Subjects: | Spring / pin | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Reavill, Peter - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
