Description: | Late Iron Age or Roman penannular brooch. The pin is missing and the brooch is slightly bent out of shape. The circular sectioned wire brooch is undecorated apart from at the terminals. The terminals are expanded, with sub-oval flat ends, and with c. seven closely-spaced bands of faint incised lines behind. The terminals are bent outwards in the same plane as the ring forming a c. 90?? angle, at c. 12mm from the terminal ends - the brooch may have been made like this (making this Hattatt Type B, late Iron Age 1st century BC?AD), or they could have been bent outwards later (making it a Hattatt Type A, Roman period). Patchy mid & dark green patina. Length (from terminals to back of brooch) 54mm, width 52mm, diameter of body 3.2mm, diameter of terminals 4.2-4.8mm, weight 9.32g. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Atherton, Rachel - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
