Description: | An example of a Roman copper alloy Hinge headed enamelled bow brooch. These are related to the Hod hill variety of brooch, but the bow is of a different form and has more sophisticated decoration (Hattatt, 1989; 110). These date to the first half of the second century.
Of the brooch itself, it has a rectangular bow which widens towards the bottom. It is decorated with two grooves that although start close together actually widen apart from each other giving the impression of a triangle. At the bottom of the bow are two knobs, of which one is worn down and the other is bent at a 90 degree angle to the bow. The head is simple in design being a single piece folded over a bar to which the pin is attached. Part of the pin is still surviving albeit slightly bent out of shape. The leg is decorated at the top by four horizontal grooves forming three ribs. The foot is plain and seperated from the leg by a horizontal rib. | 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: | 100
