Description: | Fragment of copper alloy Romano-British bow and fan tail brooch. Only a small part of the fan decoration remains part of the triangular crenallation. This brooch would probably have had tubular wings. The bow of the brooch would probably have been rectangular in plan, narrow with a curve. The foot would have been straight and fan shaped and ended with a raised rib across the very bottom. The fragment is 10mm long, 12mm wide, 6mm thick and weighs 1.30g. Brooches of this type date from the 1st to 2nd century. This group is believed by Hattatt to be early in the series of forms and probably dates to 60-80AD. Similar brooches can be seen in Hattatt 1985, figure 461, numbers 464 and 465. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Noon, Stuart | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
