Description: | Fragment of mid 1st century copper alloy Romano-British bow brooch. This fragment represents the leg and foot of the brooch and most of the catchplate. The leg is subcircular in section and appears to be of uniform width along its length. It ends in a foot without a foot knob. It is decorated with two parallel raised lines along its length. The catchplate is solid, missing its curl and damaged along the edge where the curl once was. The fragment is heavily abraded and the original surface is fragmentary. The brooch has a mid green patina with large patches of bright green corrosion, notably on the break edges. The breaks, though whilst not fresh, are not worn smooth suggesting that damage occurred in the more recent past. The fragment is 26.54mm long, 4.98mm wide, 4.08mm thick and weighs 2.14g. | 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: | 50
