Description: | Copper alloy fragment, perhaps part of a plate brooch. Corroded surfaces. On the back two large lugs, 1.2mm apart, have possible iron corrosion suggesting an iron hinged pin. The flat plate, 2.4mm thick, has a straight part with excised bands leaving a central straight line flanked by pairs of wavy lines and a narrow straight edge. This joins a curved part, diverging at both ends from the straight piece. Both parts have a rounded end and on this a projecting lentoid shape, reminiscent of Iron Age "lipped" terrets etc. At the other end both parts are broken close to the point at which they diverge. Surviving length 29mm, surviving width 18mm. Functionally this object resembles a brooch and both decorative elements occur on early Roman brooches but nothing resembling this form has been identified. | 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: | 43
