Description: | Late Iron Age to Roman copper-alloy Birdlip brooch dating from the mid-1st century BC to mid-1st century AD. Its pin is missing but otherwise it is complete. It has a trumpet-shaped head and moulded decoration on the bow which is very thin towards the head of the brooch. Probably for both decoration and stabilisation purposes, a cast cu-alloy 'ball' was moulded between the rim of the trumpet-shaped head and the heavier top of the bow. The large foot is undecorated and does not have a headstud. | 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: | -50
