Description: | A very worn fragment of a Roman cast copper alloy brooch. The foot and catchplate are missing. The bow is a flattened hemisphere in section and roughly right angled in shape (but this may not be original). There appears to be the remains of moulded decoration at the angle of the bow, probably an integral headstud. The head flares out into 2 wings but is damaged and worn. The pin and spring mechanism are entirely missing, but the back of the head is slightly hollow for them. Any possible suspension loop is also missing. | 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
