Description: | Roman copper alloy brooch. The object is in two pieces the largest, making up most of the brooch, measures 55mm long, 43mm wide and 7mm thick. the smaller piece which represents the foot measures 46mm long, 18mm wide and 8mm thick.
The form is similar to a bow brooch with wide arms to hold a spring and a curved, bow shaped body. The arms on this brooch curve inwards instead of being flat and the foot is a splayed leaf shape. The brooch has a pronounced 'fin' on its upper surface which stands 8mm proud of its surface. The brooch is quite worn with a pocked surface and a green patina. It is similar to brooches found at Nuess in Germany (BAR 862 Simpson,G.) | 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: | -300
