Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy 1st ? 2nd century AD brooch.
All that survives of the brooch is part of the bow, the foot and the catchplate.
The bow has been tinned. Moulded decoration remains at the top of the fragment. Below this the bow extends outwards, flaring down to the foot. The bow/foot is therefore in the shape of an upside down triangle. The foot proper in flat.
The catchplate survives in full. The pin is missing.
The surface of the metal survives in a very good condition and it is a dark brownish-green colour. | 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: | 1
