Description: | A copper alloy Roman bow brooch fragment, trumpet type. The trumpet head is oval and measures 9.61mm in width, with a complete spring loop behind. The spring and pin are missing, as are the foot of the brooch and the catchplate, due to old breaks. There are two bands of transverse moulding cross the bow on either side of the central 'button'. The fragment measures 28.41mm in length and 9.99mm in width across the head. It weighs 4.4g.
This brooch resembles one from London, Billingsgate, illustrated in Hattatt, no.437. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Carr, Jane - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
