Description: | Fragment of copper alloy Roman brooch. This fragment represents part of the foot and catchplate from a 1st century Roman bow brooch. What remains is the straight foot section that would have run from the bow, and a fragment of a solid curled catchplate. The foot is broken at either end, bevelled with a centrally raised rib. All the breaks are worn smooth and similarly patinated to the rest of the object, suggesting damage occurred in antiquity. The fragment is heavily abraded with a dark green patina with flashes of lighter green. It is 10.52mm long, 5.12mm wide across the foot,10.87mm wide across the catchplate and weighs 1.02g. | 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: | Caroline McDonald | Identifier: | http://www.finds.org.uk/database/artefac... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | text/html | Go to resource |
