Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy Roman bow brooch of Colchester derivative with double pierced lug. Only the wings, the lug, part of the bow and spring chord survive, the remainder of the object is missing due to old breaks, now worn.The wings are semi-cylindrical in form, undecorated and separated at their centre by a rear facing double pierced lug. This holds in place the remains of a separately cast copper-alloy spring chord. The lug extends forwards onto the head of the brooch where it joins the bow. The bow itself is D-shaped in section and undecorated. This bow brooch measures17.04mm in length, 19.81mm in width at the wings, 7.97mm in width at the bow, 3.50mm in thickness, 4.05g in weight.There is a similar example from Hacheston (Blagg et al, 2004, p. 96, no. 108). | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
