Description: | Roman copper alloy bow brooch, 35mm long and 6mm thick. The wings are decorated with a diagonal incised line on each and the bow of the brooch consists of a domed circle which has a triangular motif in its centre. Below this the brooch 'fans' out into a triangular form with three circular knops protruding from its lower, and widest, edge. The pin and catch-plate are still in place although the end of the pin is now bent.
The brooch seems to be part Aesica, part wing and fanbow, both date to 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
