Description: | Iron Age cast copper alloy knotenfibel or boss-on bow brooch, dating 50-20BC. The brooch is formed of a sprung pin (only two turns of the coil remain) and a bow with a circular cross section and a cylindrical boss just below the bend on the bow. Below the boss, the bow is bent and broken, with the foot and catchplate missing. The boss is decorated with a cross-hatch design, which is quite worn. The brooch has a dark green-grey patina. The break at the foot is worn, while the break on the spring appears more recent. It is 32.35mm long, 4.73mm wide across the spring with a diameter of 8.50mm, 4.46mm wide across the top of the bow increasing to 4.77mm wide on the button, before the bow decreases in width towards the broken foot, measuring 1.96mm. It weighs 4.41 grams. | Subjects: | knotenfibel / Boss-on-bow | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | McLean, Laura - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
