Object type: BROOCH
Broad period: ROMAN
County: Cumbria
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
Fragment of a Roman crossbow brooch dating from the late 3rd-4th century AD. The complete brooch would have been broadly 'P'-shaped in profile and 'T' shaped in plan, with a large 'onion' shaped knop on the head of the bow and on either ends of the crossbar: the latter is what survives here. There was another ring moulding between the onion-shaped terminal and the head of the brooch, and a small moulded knop on the apex of the onion-shaped mount.
An almost complete brooch of this type was recorded as WMID-5135E8.
