Description: | Copper alloy fragment, possibly from a Roman bow brooch of unusual style and design, possibly a variant Knee brooch. The brooch is represented by the head and upper bow only. The brooch employed a hinge mechanism with twin lugs, as is usually found on plate brooches. The head is angled to the bow and may have had a head plate or chain loop. The upper bow is of slender D-shaped section and has a near right-angled turn, where the section becomes triangular with a slight central rib. | 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: | Mark Lodwick | Identifier: | http://www.finds.org.uk/database/artefac... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | text/html | Go to resource |
