Description: | A tiny copper alloy Roman knee brooch (AD 150-250), incomplete, length 26mm and wingspan 8.5mm.
The wings are semi-circular but chunky-looking, the circular ends holding the axis bar in place being 4mm in diameter. The remains of an attachment loop extend upwards and there are three coils remaining of an estimated four. The thread curls below the coils.
The bow extends from the bottom of the wings, the reverse being flat while the front side is curved. The bow is prominent and curves evenly outwards and in again, tapering from 5mm wide to 2mm over 15mm, and then extends into the straight leg and 90 degree semi-circular foot.
The catchplate is also tiny and extends behind the leg and foot only. It is 2mm deep and missing its curl. | 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: | 150
