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, which ends with a broad, rounded point, and a complete, though chipped, solid curled catchplate. The remaining length of the foot is plain but bevelled. The breaks are worn smooth, but patinated differently to the rest of the fragment, suggesting that damage occurred in the recent past. Most of the surface of the object survives with little abrasion. It has a dark brown patina with tiny flashes of light green, with the break surfaces being almost white. It is 25.3mm long, 5.44mm wide across the foot, 10.87mm wide across the catchplate and weighs 3.01g.
