Description: | Roman copper alloy brooch, 46mm long, 13mm wide with a weight of 7.07grams. The brooch has a small head 13mm wide and 19mm high, which has a semicircular lower edge. One side has a circular hole which would have held the spring bar, the other side is missing. The head protrudes above the bow and is decorated with two horizontal incised lines. Above this it has an unusual teminal with rounded outer edges and a triangular protrusion in the centre, which is decorated with a vertical incised line, running over a horizontal line near the base. The bow emerges from the base of the head and is rectangular in section. It has a raised outer border which terminates in a rounded edge about half way down its length. Inside this border is a raised arrow pointing downwards. Below this the bow has a raised semi circle which mirrors the decoration above. From this point the brooch tapers to a point and the remains of the catchplate run along to the base. | 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: | 1
