Description: | An incomplete and corroded cast copper alloy knee brooch of Roman date (AD 100 - AD 200). Length 27.7mm, width 14.9mm. Weight 5.98g.
The brooch has a large bulbous head. It is hollow at the rear where the missing spring mechanism was accommodated. There is a small stub at the top of the head which may be the remains of a hook that helped to secure the spring, or it may possibly be the remains of a head-loop. The lower part of the bow is flat at the front and rear and has concave sides and a rounded terminal end. On the lower part of the rear face is the stub of a catch-plate.
The piece is corroded and in poor condition. There is no trace of a patina or any tinning. | 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
