Description: | An incomplete Roman brooch. The brooch has been cast in copper alloy. All that survives of the brooch is the long, slender bow. The bow is usually large for a Roman brooch. The bow resembles a Roman knee brooch, where the bow bends outwards, before tapering inwards to the foot of the brooch. Below this bend there is a transverse ridge. The foot of the brooch is then straight and tapers to the foot proper. Neither the head nor the catchplate survive. The pin is also missing. The bow is 67.9mm in length. The metal is very worn and very corroded. The surface is pitted. The metal has a dark reddish-brown colour. | 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: | 43
