Description: | Copper AlloyBrooch. Rhenish 'Eye' Brooch, a type of Germanic origin ascribed to the Claudian period (Hattatt 1982, 62; both form and extent of survival closely resemble Hattatt 1985 no. 262, reported as from southern Britain). A markedly P-shaped flat bow extends from a head with three coils of an integrally cast spring to an unpierced folded catch-plate. The end of spring is gripped by a small lug. The curved part of bow is decorated with fine ribs on either side, and a medial ridge bearing finely incised billeting. A thin linear border continues to the end of the bow, which is rounded and very slightly expanded in width. Suggested date: Early Roman: 40-60.Length: 44.52mm, Width (at spring): 12.12mm, Thickness (lower bow): 1.33mm, Weight: 4.42gms.
