Description: | Roman bow brooch fragment, probably from a Dolphin / Polden Hill or Trumpet Type brooch and likely to date from the 1st or 2nd century AD. The lower bow is straight with a D-shaped section, which was originally likely to have been sub-triangular. The leg gently tapers to the globular foot. The bow has broken at the position of a perforation, surrounded by a raised moulding, and probably contained a glass setting. The catch-plate begins before the break and has an elbowed upper edge. At the rear of the catch is an incised line. | 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: | 43
