Description: | A copper alloy Roman bow brooch, dating to the first or second centuries AD. The bow is rectangular in section and tapers to a cylindrical ribbed foot knob with a flat base. Two ribs run the length of the bow. The brooch has cylindrical wings with moulded ribs next to the bow and at the end of the wings. Fragments of the overhead chord and suspension loop (which is broken) remain on the head of the brooch. The pin is intact and is held in place by an axis bar. The trapezoidal catchplate reaches half way up the bow. The brooch is very corroded and the copper alloy is flaking in places. The brooch measures 48mm in length and a maximum of 22m in width. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
