Description: | Incomplete cast copper alloy Roman knee brooch, missing its spring mechanism, pin & part of catchplate. There are slight traces of tinning on the surface which otherwise has a mig-green patina.The wings are tubular and C-shaped in profile with the ends of the wings enclosed with small circular perforations for taking the, now missing, axis bar. The neck bow extends in an accentuated curve and is rectangular in section To the rear of the bow at the top and bottom of the curve, are two projections creating the illusion of an almost enclosed C-shaped area. Below this arch the bow straightens before flaring out towards the flat-bottomed square-sectioned foot.The catchplate, which extends from the rear of the base of the foot, is incomplete.The brooch is very similar to one from Dorset (Hattatt no.1228). Dated AD. c.150-250.
