Title |
Roman continental Kraftig Profilierte brooch |
||
Description |
English: An incomplete copper-alloy Roman continental Kraftig Profilierte brooch. It is missing the terminal end of the foot but is otherwise complete. The head of the brooch has short, flat rectangular wings, from the back centre of which extend an integral hook that folds forwards onto the head of the brooch, and an integral spring that is incomplete due to old breaks. The spring itself has been replaced in antiquity with a separate copper-alloy spring of eight coils and spring chord held in place by the original hook and with the addition of a separate iron axis bar running through the spring. The spring extends to a complete pin that tapers to a sharp point held in place by the catchplate. Atthe head the brooch has a very narrow neck behind the wings before expanding to a trumpet shaped upper bow. This has prominent projecting shoulders with a faceted front face, flat back face, and tapersto a transverse rib at the centre of the bow. The rib is oval in form, projecting prominently from both front and back faces of the bow, and has slight raised collars above and below where the upper and lower halves of the bow join the rib. Beneath the rib extends the lower half of the bow or foot. This is oval in section and tapers towards old breaks. On the back face of the foot is an integral catchplate that is flat, rectangular in form and with a folded outer edge that holds the pin in place. The entire object measures 50.35mm in length, 18.26mm in width at spring, 17.33mm in width at head of bow, 5.45mm in thickness at head (7.87mm at mid rib), and 14.80g in weight.
This is an incomplete Roman bow brooch. It finds its closest parallels in continental kraftig profilierte brooches, particularly examples from Augst where it seems to fall into Riha's Typ 2.9.2 variant (Almgren Typ 68) (Riha, 1979: pp. 73-74, pl. 9, nos. 232-241, especially no. 234), although given that the terminal end of the foot is missing it is impossible to tell whether it originally had the diagnostic terminal knop and S-shaped profile. It is of 1st century AD date, c.43-100 AD. |
