Description: | Copper alloy brooch fragment, probably a Knotenfibel type. Upper half of the bow and one spring coil only survive; fairly corroded and the lower part of the bow is cracked and probably bent. Below the spring the bow is flattened to 5mm wide and 2mm thick. At the apex of the curve the bow thickens to form a knob flanked by single transverse grooves; below this the section flattens again and tapers slightly. Surviving length 38mm. Type as Burgh (EAA 40, 1988) fig 9 no 1, and Kelvedon (Rodwell 1987) fig 43, though the bows are often more rounded in section than the present eg. Date for the type is second half of 1st century BC and early 1st century AD | 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
