Description: | Fragment of copper alloy 1st century Roman bow brooch. The side wings of this brooch are damaged and truncated. The remains of a lug can be seen behind the head. The bow is flat and is decorated with a raised mid rib, that is flanked by a raised line on either of the outer edges of the bow. The central rib is decorated with incised transverse lines. The object has an even dark green patina with some traces of dark brown and orange corrosion product across the wings. There are traces silvering in the incised decoration on the mid rib. All breaks are worn smooth and are similarly patinated, suggesting damage occurred in antiquity. The brooch has a surviving length of 22.08mm, is 12.32mm wide across the wings, 6.7mm wide across the bow, 2.46mm thick and weighs 2.02g.
