Iron Age to Roman Rosette brooch |
||
| Description |
English: An incomplete cast copper-alloy Rosette brooch dating from the Iron Age to the Roman period (c. AD 20-60). The brooch consists of the wings, integral bow and part of the plate. The wings are semi-cylindrical with a hollow interior. The spring and pin are missing.
The D-sectioned bow extends downwards in a shallow curve from the front centre of the wings and is decorated with three or four very worn linear grooves. The base of the bow connects to a slightly convex flat circular plate. The upper and lower edges are broken but most of the sides are intact. The front of the plate is decorated with a circular arrangement of short linear grooves around the base of the bow and within this four inverted triangles extending from the base of the bow. The two outer triangles are shorter than the two inner triangles between them. The reverse of the bow and plate are undecorated and there are the remains of the thin flat upper catch plate projecting from the back of the plate at an angle of approximately 85 degrees. All surfaces of the brooch have a mottled mid-brown patina and there are several larger patches of light-green patination on the front of the bow and reverse of the plate. The brooch measures 34.6mm long, 23.9mm wide and 5.2mm thick at the wings, and 12.4mm wide and 2mm thick at the widest point of the bow. The plate is 23.8mm long, 22.7mm wide and a maximum of 3.6mm thick. The entire brooch weighs 7.28 grams. As Hattatt 2000, p. 308, fig. 167, no. 278. |
