BOW BROOCH

Unique ID: NMGW-F38827

Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow status: Published

Roman copper alloy hinged T-shaped brooch with narrow rounded bow. Only the upper bow and tubular wings survive, with the catch-plate and pin missing. The brooch has eroded and little detail survives. There is the suggestion that the bow tapers from a central rib, and there is a central crest on the head.

Notes:

The brooch can be reasonably paralleled with Hattatt (1987) No. 906

Class: T-shaped
