Description: | A fragment of a Roman copper-alloy Knee brooch dating to the late second or early third century AD. The fragment comprises a small portion of the head and bow of the brooch. The head is a flat, plain, semi-circular plate, on the reverse of which are two, semi-circular pierced lugs designed to accommodate the spring and pin. Both are missing. The bow is D-shaped in section and hollow. Where the break in the bow occurs, there are two apparently deliberate triangular notches. The foot and catchplate are missing. The fragment measures 23mm in length; the head plate measures 19mm in width.
