Description: | T-shaped bow brooch, made of cast copper alloy. It is incomplete, with the wings, bow and a small piece of the catchplate remaining. The wings are 30mm wide and the brooch has a complete legth of 38mm. The pin (now lost) would have ben atttached by a hinge mechanism and a V-shaped cut in the centre of the underside of the wings shows the position of the hinge. The front of the wings are decorated by a diagonal groove running from each terminal to the top of the bow where it joins the wings. This is clearest on the left wing and very faint on the right. The section of the bow is D-shaped. The front is decorated by a large central ridge running down the length of the bow, flanked on each side by a groove. A small pice of the catchplate remains atached to the foot of the bow, although the very tip of the bow appears to be lost. It is Roman in date. AD 1st - 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 | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://www.finds.org.uk/database/artefac... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | text/html | Go to resource |
