Description: | An incomplete and corroded copper-alloy Rosette or Thistle type brooch of mid 1st century AD date (R. Hattatt; 1982; pp. 98).
The head consists of a cylinder which would originally have enclosed the spring, but is now damaged. On the underside of the head is a pin slot. The spring and pin are both missing. The display side of the head is decorated with two horizontal ridges and a central groove. The humped bow section extends downwards from the centre of the head - it is decorated with three vertical ridges interspersed with grooves. The plate, which is set at right-angles to the bow, is heavily damaged and was probably originally lozenge-shaped or triangular. The foot section is missing.
The piece measures 31.4mm long, 26mm wide and 12.1mm thick. The weight is 10.75g. | 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: | 40
