Description: | A cast copper alloy Colchester-type one-piece brooch of 1st century AD date. The brooch is 68mm in length, 27.8mm across the wings and the bow is 2.2mm thick. It weighs 7.29g. At one end is a crossbar which would have protected the (missing) spring. The external chord, a short length of which survives, is held in place by a short hook which is turned back on itself from the top of the bow. The wide flat bow narrows slowly into a rounded foot which is slightly damaged. It is decorated with four faint parallel ridges. Between the central pair of ridges there is a vertical line of beading. The brooch's pin is missing, but part of the catchplate survives. A similar brooch is illustrated in Hattatt's Visual Catalogue (2000, p. 296, fig. 155, no. 753). This example is from London. | 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: | 43
