Description: | Incomplete and rather poorly made Roman copper alloy bow brooch with missing spring mechanism and consisting of wings and upper bow only. The brooch has been subject to pressure which has resulted in the bow being bent right back on itself to extend upwards instaed of downwards. Its incomplete and bent length is 21mm, and its wingspan 31mm. The wings are semi-circular in section and decorated with a groove to the front, flanking each open end. The remains of the lug which held the axis bar and thread remains, though the 'loops' themselves are broken (ancient break, and possibly caused by the strain of the bow bending upwards). The bow is oval in section and measures 7x6mm. Its break is also ancient. Weighs 10.60g. Probably 1st century. | 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
