Description: | A cast copper alloy strip bow brooch, probably of 1st century AD date. The hinge is entirely missing, as are the foot and catchplate. The head contains a central slot for the missing pin. The short wings, which would have been rolled backwards to contain the axis bar, are now fairly flat. They measure 14.72mm in width. The bow tapers slightly towards the foot, from 7.36mm immediately below the wings, to 4.96mm at the point of the break. The thickness of the bow is consistent through its lenth at around 1.4mm. The front of the bow is decorated with two vertical engraved lines, from which tiny regular engraved notches can been seen on the inside. The brooch is slightly worn.
Dimensions: 46.9mm long, 6.08mm front to back
