Description: | The broken head from a cast copper alloy bow brooch, probably a trumpet brooch, dating from the 1st-2nd centuries AD. The bow narrows rapidly from a wide semi-circular flat head and the bow has broken approximately 10.5mm from the head. The bow has an oval section. The head is topped with the base of a broken head stud. The position for the loop which held the sprung iron pin is visible on the back of the head. Iron corrosion is present within the hole. The fragment measures 24.81mm by 16.25mm by 19.60mm and weighs 5.84g. A possible parallel for this brooch can be seen in Hattatt's 'Visual Catalogue' (2000, p. 326, no. 959). | 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
