Description: | An almost complete crossbow brooch dating to the late 3rd century. The brooch, which has a white metal coating and a hinged pin, has a wide curving bow which in section is an elongated triangle. Adjacent to the catchplate is a raised collar with a hollow on each side of the bow adjacent. The back of the catchplate has double grooves at the foot and a single groove at the junction of the bow as well as two pairs of triangular facets. Part of one side wing is missing. There may have been a separate fitting attached to the projection on the apex. If so this is now missing. | Subjects: | Crossbow | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Williams, David W - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
