Description: | Copper alloy penannular brooch of Fowler type A2, 24mm in diameter with a thickness of 2mm. The brooch has an opening of 5mm, on either side are sub-circular terminals, 4.5mm wide and 3mm deep. These are decorated with incised diagonal lines. These are seperated from the main body by an transverse incised line, below this the brooch is 3.5mm thick but quickly tapers to its overall 2mm thickness. The pin has a leaf shaped flattened end which is 6mm long and 3mm wide, from here it becomes circular and is 1.5mm in diameter. It has a distinct upward curve in its middle section and is attached to the brooch by a flattened end, 3mm wide, which is rolled around the body to form a loop. The brooch is similar to one in Hattatt's ancient brooches no. 1281 Fig. 198, which he dates to the Roman period. | 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: | 1
