Description: | Fragment of a copper-alloy Roman brooch. Possibly from a Lion bow brooch derivative, or a Langton Down type. 1st C. AD date. Fragment consists of a cylindrical spring chamber which appears, originally, to have been fully enclosed. It is now damaged, however, revealing the slightly damaged spring, which consists of seven coils of copper-alloy wire. At the mid point of the spring chamber is a small, rectangular central hole into which the now-missing pin would have been fitted. There is a small portion of the bow attached to the reverse of the head. It is quite narrow, at 9.3mm wide, making it more likely that it was a Lion bow brooch type. The fragment measures 26mm wide by 12.8mm high. The weight is 6.49g.
