Description: | Fragment of copper alloy Roman brooch. This fragment represents part of the foot and catchplate from a 1st century Roman bow brooch. What remains is the straight foot section that would have run from the bow, the foot knob and a complete solid curled catchplate. The remains of the foot are decorated with a centrally raised rib, flanked by a raised rib on the very edges either side. Just above the foot knob is an incised line. The breaks are worn smooth and similarly patinated to the rest of the object, suggesting damage occurred in antiquity. The fragment is heavily abraded with a dark brown patina, mottled with lighter brown. It is 26mm long, 3.2mm wide across the foot, 19mm wide across the catchplate and weighs 1.91g.
