Description: | Incomplete cast copper alloy Roman brooch of Aucissa class A type. Probably a British copy.
The bow is 8.1mm wide and 1.2mm thick with a wide central groove and a pronounced bow which has been bent inwards. The spring, pin and part of the head plate is missing. The rectangular part of the head plate is decorated with two transverse ribs but there is no evidence of a makers name. The catch plate is triangular and almost complete with some damage to the catch. The foot knob appears to have been made seperately. It is 35.6mm long, 21.4mm wide and 8.1 mm thick; it weighs 3.0 grams. It has a reddish brown patina with patchs of green.
