Description: | An incomplete Roman Colchester derivative bow brooch, possibly a double-pierced lug bow brooch, c.43-120 AD. Only the foot and part of the catchplate survive, the remainder now missing due to old breaks. The bow is D-sectioned in form, tapering slightly towards the foot which has a projecting globular knop. On the back face of the foot is an integral catchplate that is flat, triangular in form with triangular perforation but no pin groove. It is missing its outer edge due to old breaks. The entire object has very worn surfaces with the remains of a green patina. It measures 22.40mm in length, 2.85mm in width, 8.33mm in thickness (at catchplate, 1.70mm at bow) and 0.80g in weight.This is an incomplete Roman Colchester derivative bow brooch. The form of the foot perhaps indicates it is from a double-pierced lug bow brooch, but this remains uncertain. It is of later 1st to 2nd century AD date, c.43-120 AD. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
