Description: | Roman (1st century) cast copper alloy brooch fragment: Lion bow derivative.
An incomplete lion derivative bow brooch; bow and catchplate present only.
The top most part of the bow consists of a longitudinally orientated prism whose section tapers towards the top. There are two transverse ridges across the prism forming a chevron which points up the brooch. The fan section of the bow is flat and measures 1.1mm in thickness excluding the catch plate. The bow is slightly concaved from front to back; possibly bent. The bottom end of the bow is damaged and uneven although it??s possible that the full length of the bow is represented where the catch plate supports the fan. The bow surface is abraded in areas but with evidence of tinning in less worn areas. The rear catch plate extends the length of the bow from the bottom of the prism and is offset to the left of centre. The catch plate is 23.8mm in length, 5.7mm in width. A small amount of pin rest survives. The length and width of the fragment is 32.6mm and 9.2mm respectively. The fragment weighs 2.7g. | Subjects: | Lion | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Kinninmont, Keiron | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
