Description: | Section of a copper alloy penannular brooch. This type of brooch is a simple form of accessory and was in use for over a millennium. It is made of two pieces of wire; one bent into an open ring and the other piece wrapped around the frame to form a pin. Only about half the brooch frame survives of this example and is a late Iron Age ? Roman period example with a type D3 terminal. The terminal is squared off with incised linear decoration. The brooch weighs 2.74g and measures 39mm in length, 17mm in width and 3.6mm in thickness (across terminal). | 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
