Description: | Roman copper alloy bow and fantail brooch, 38m long and 15mm wide. The brooch is a poor condition with a greenish patina. It consists of a damaged circular sectioned wing which contains the spring. The main bow emerges from the base of the wing and is semi-circular in section for the first 5mm of its length. The front of the bow then has a conical protrusion sitting at the top of a flattened triangular shaped bow. The reverse of this section holds the catchplate which is centrally placed. It emerges from the body gradually and has a rolled over cath which is about 10mm long, there is no pin. There is no sign of decoration on the brooch and it is damaged in places. | 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: | 50
