Description: | A fragment from a copper alloy Roman Colchester derivative double pierced lug bow brooch. The double lug, wings, part of the spring bar and the upper portion of the bow survive intact, the remainder missing due to old breaks. The wings are semi-cylindrical in shape and terminate at each end in old breaks. At their centre is the double pierced lug that is perforated by a short section of the copper alloy spring bar, which is square in section. The lug does not extend backwards along the bow. The bow itself is undecorated, oval shaped in section and globular at the head. The entire fragment measures 12.97mm in length, 21.93mm in width, 11.43mm in thickness at head, and weighs 3.72g. This is a fragment from a Colchester derivative double pierced lug bow brooch of 1st century AD date, c.43-100 AD. Similar examples are noted from Hacheston (Blagg et al., 2004: nos. 106, 110) and Richborough (Bayley and Bucther, 2004: nos. 193-197). | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Brown, Andrew | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
