Description: | Lower bow and foot of a copper alloy Roman bow brooch.
The brooch is quite worn but there appears to be a central cell extending the length of the rectangular sectioned lower bow from the break to just above the foot. It is filled with a dark-coloured substance, possibly applied silvering, and ??a zig-zag pattern. The foot is very worn but rounded, sticking out at right angle from the leg. Just above it are two horizontal incised lines.
The catchplate drops in a curve before extending backwards to become the curl. Fragment length 23mm, max width of bow (at break) 5mm. Width of foot 2mm. Projection of foot from leg 2mm. ?2nd century. | 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: | 101
