Description: | Incomplete cast copper alloy bow brooch of Roman, first or second century date (AD 43 ? AD 100). Possibly a Polden Hill type. Length 16mm, width 18.5mm and maximum thickness of bow 3mm. Weight 2.69g. The surviving parts of the wings are semi-cylindrical and the closed ends are missing. One of the wings contains a deposit of iron corrosion, the remains of the axial bar. The bow is convex at the front and slightly convex at the rear. It tapers in width from 7mm at the top, where it joins the wings, to 3.4mm at an old break. Viewing the brooch from the front, there is a black indeterminate substance on the right wing and at the top of the bow on the right side. The piece is corroded and in poor condition. | 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
