Description: | A cast copper-alloy roman bow-and-fantail brooch. The cylindrical tubular wings conceal a hinge pin mechanism. The copper-alloy axis bar is visible at both ends and only a fragment of the copper-alloy pin remains. The wings have two vertical grooves on the ends. The top of the arched bow has an incomplete integral chain loop. Midway down the bow is a plain button, which borders a flat triangular leg. The leg has a slightly raised central panel with a triangular groove either side. Three joined lozenge-shapes run vertically down the centre of the panel. In between each lozenge are two triangular enamel cells with the remains of white enamel in them. One corner of the leg is slightly torn. Behind the triangular leg is a short catchplate with a length of 13.0mm and a width of 5.7mm. The overall length 38.4mm, the width is 27.3mm and the weight is 10.95g. | 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
