Description: | Lower bow and catchplate of a Dorset-type Roman T-shaped brooch. The break is recent-ish. The bow is flat in section at the break, with two vertical cells to the front either side of and bound by ribs. Beneath, the bow becomes more D-shaped in section, still with a central rib, with a groove flanking either side. This however only occupies the top half of this lower bow section. It is bound by a diagonal moulding either side of and to top and bottom of the central rib. Beneath it is plain and rather more triangular in section. A foot projects at the very bottom 2.5mm in width. Two grooves create the effect of three toes. The catchplate extends to the reverse from one side and is max 8.5mm deep. The curl is complete. Length of incomplete brooch 44mm. 1st-2nd century in date. | 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
