Description: | A copper-alloy Divided-bow brooch dating to the late second or early third century AD. The head comprises a semi-cylindrical spring-casing with circular, pierced end-plates which secure the axis bar and spring. The pin is missing. The apex of the spring-casing is decorated with a cast 'crest' in the form of four triangular extensions. The bow extends from the head and comprises two triangular-section ribs which converge and flatten to form a tongue-shaped foot-plate which is also triangular in section. The catchplate is damaged but reaches the full length of the foot-plate. The brooch measures 52mm in length; the spring-casing 17mm in width and the foot, 5mm in width.This brooch is similar to Catalogues entries 252 and 253, p. 104 in Bayley and Butcher (2004). | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
