Description: | Corroded and incomplete Wirral type Roman brooch.
The headloop is missing. The head is stepped up to the headloop. The brooch is a hinged example but the pin and bar are missing.
The upper bow has a panel which is split into three vertical strips. These would have been filled with alternating squares of coloured enamel. Most of this is gone now but traces of orange enamel survive.
The bow has broken just below the knee so the foot and most of the lower half of the bow is missing. There is a circular boss at the knee of the bow.
The brooch is very corroded and has an uneven surface. It is a light green colour, which often indicates bronze disease. | 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
