Description: | An incomplete Roman copper alloy Colchester-derivative brooch type B dating c. 65- 80 AD. The spring of seven turns would have been secured by passing the external chord, which is now broken, and the axis bar passes through a lug with two perforations behind the head. The crest on the head runs in a flat ridge down to what would be the tip of the bow where it would have tapered to a point, and is flanked by mouldings on the upper bow. Below the crest the bow is decorated with ridge mouldings that run either side of the central ridge and would have terminated at the tip of the bow. The wings are 20.37 mm in width, are semi-cylindrical in section and are decorated with two vertical moulded ridges. Only part of the bow remains and the catch plate and pin are missing. L: 14.28 W. of wings: 20.37 max W .of bow: 9.25 Max. Bow thickness: 2.51 Wt: 2.64g. Similar to an example from Norfolk (Hattatt 1989, Ref 1462 - 1463). | 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: | 65
