Description: | A copper alloy brooch, Knotenfibel type. Missing spring, pin, foot and part of catchplate; lower bow bent. The bow is circular in section, 2.5 - 3.0mm in diameter, with a 4.5mm diameter knob flanked by single narrow ribs just above the mid bow. The bow narrows and flattens to a rectangular section where it forms the front of the openwork catchplate; a stub projecting at the back of this would have been a single bar across the catchplate opening. Surviving length 59mm. Comparable to examples published from Kelvedon (Rodwell, CBA 63, 1988 Fig 43 nos 1-3)and to one from Burgh (Martin, 1988, EAA 40, Fig 9 no 1) but with a more elongated knob than these. Can data to the late 1st century BC but probably continue into late Augustan/Tiberian. | Format: | text/html | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/ | Publisher: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Rights holder: | The Portable Antiquities Scheme | Subjects: | archaeology | Temporal: | -30
