Description: | A fragment of a copper-alloy P-shaped brooch dating to the early third century AD. The head of the brooch comprises a semi-cylindrical spring-casing, decorated with a step and groove moulding along its width. The spring-casing possesses circular, pierced end-plates, only one of which survives. This end-plate secures the axis bar and spring mechanism. The pin is intact but bent. The head extends to an arched, rectangular section bow which is decorated with two longitudinal grooves, flanking a central knurled rib. The foot and catchplate of the brooch are missing. The damage to the brooch appears deliberate. The brooch measures 31mm in length; the spring-casing measures 24mm in length. The bow has a width of 3mm. The brooch weighs 9.1g. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
