Description: | Roman penannular brooch. To wear - push pin round the loop until its end fits through the small slot and lift loop up out of the way. Next, stick pin through cloth so the end of the pin is still visible. Lower the loop, feed pin back through slot and twist the loop to position as shown in photograph. The weight of the cloth keeps the pin pressed firmly against the loop, and with the slot at the top the pin cannot fall out of the cloth (Arbeia Roman Fort). | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | metalwork archaeology living in the North East fashion art roman | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
