Description: | Incomplete and chunky copper alloy Roman brooch with a single rectangular wing, from which extends a wire loop to the top. The spring is concreted in place with probably 7 coils, and the pin is broken off. The wire curls beneath the spring which is held in place on an axis between two semicircular lugs. From the wing the bow curves outwards with a jagged edge, two semicircular cuts 8mm and 6mm long respectively being cut in both sides. Below this the foot is rectangular 10x8mm with rounded corners and a knop extending to the bottom. The catchplate extends to the reverse behind the foot only and is almost rectangular in shape. Length 44mm, wingspan 16mm. No parallel in Hattatt. | 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 | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Katie Hinds | Identifier: | http://www.finds.org.uk/database/artefac... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | text/html | Go to resource |
