Description: | A copper alloy object for which neither a function nor a date can be ascertained. The object looks superficially like a fragment of the bow of a Roman brooch. However, the fragment is asymmetrical unlike any Roman brooches. The object consists of a arched triangular section 'bow' which expands and becomes trapezoidal in section. At one end of the 'bow' there is a horizontal notch. This separates the 'bow' in two. One section is rounded off and appears deliberately finished. The other section appears to be broken. At the other end of the 'bow', there are two extension protruding at right angles from the 'bow;.a small, moulded extension in the shape of a spiral and a circular section extension, which is broken. The object measures 35mm in length and 20mm in width. | 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: | Philippa Walton | Identifier: | http://www.finds.org.uk/database/artefac... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | text/html | Go to resource |
