Description: | An early Roman copper alloy Rosette brooch. The brooch has a cylindrical spring cover; the pin is missing. The wings are decorated with two vertical grooves at either terminal. To either side of the centre of the wings are a series of diagonal grooves, sloping towards the edge of the wings. The bow is short, arched and decorated with ten vertical ribs. The bow plunges into a flat lozenge shaped plate. There is a moulded circle around the area where the bow meets the plate. The perimeter of the plate is decorated with a deep channel. The foot would have been a flat, vertically ribbe trapezoid but this is mostly incomplete. There is a catchplate on the reverse. The brooch has been silvered or tinned. | Subjects: | Rosette | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Daubney, Adam - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
