| Description |
English: Cast copper alloy Aesica brooch dating to the 1st century AD. It is an open type Aesica brooch with cylindrical wings. The bow widens towards its base before narrowing on its return to join the leg. There are side points on the widest part of the bow. It has a splayed flat foot. The catchplate and pin are missing.
The wings are decorated with two incised lines which run from the outer edge at the front of the wings, diagonally up towards the top of the gap between them. The space between these lines is decorated with vertical lines. A single incised line borders the outer end of the wings while the top and base of the reverse side of the wings are also each incised with linear decoration. The bow is decorated with a high triangular crest, the edges of which are decorated with incised horizontal lines. The raised crest rises out from the bow creating a small horizontal loop before flattening again on the foot and tapering towards the base. A dot-and-circle impression decorates each half of the foot, one on either side of the central raised ridge. However the ring-and–dot on the left of the object is slightly higher than that on the right. An incised line borders the outer edge of the whole object. The reverse is undecorated. The catchplate, spring and pin are missing however a deep groove runs the length of the foot, stopping just below the start of the bow. It has a dark brownish black patina and is in very good condition. Similar examples can be seen on p310 of ‘A Visual Catalogue of Richard Hattatt’s Ancient Brooches’, Oxbow Books, 2000. |
