Description: | *Brooch at 9 o'clock in image*Copper alloy lower bow, leg and foot of Roman bow brooch. The catchplate is worn and missing its curl. The bow is M-shaped in section, hollow at its back and with a deep groove running down its middle. At the point where it ends two pairs of incised horizontal lines downwards and away to the edges. Below this the leg extends at a slightly different and outward angle. It is D-shaped in section and the foot, now worn, was probably once semi-circular. Incomplete length 44mm. Possibly from a T-shaped brooch. The turn of the leg from the bow is quite distinctive. 1st/ 2nd century. No parallels in Hattatt.
