Description: | A fragment from a copper alloy Roman Colchester derivative bow brooch. Only the lower part of the bow, the foot and catchplate survive, the remainder of the bow missing due to old breaks. The bow is oval shaped in section with a slightly flattened back and is undecorated. At the foot there is an integral catchplate, which is flat and triangular in section. It has a folded exterior edge and incised pin slot or groove, and has a small circular peforation at the top and a larger sub-triangular perforation at the bottom. The fragment measures 27.96mm in length, 2.80mm in width, 10.37mm in thickness (including catchplate), and weighs 1.52g. This is probably from the foot of a Colchester derivative bow brooch of 1st century AD date, c.43-100 AD, with similar examples noted at Roman Richborough (Bayley and Butcher, 2004: nos. 185-188). | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Brown, Andrew | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
