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, 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. It ends, complete, without a foot knob. 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 mid brown patina, mottled with lighter brown. It is 20.02mm long, 4.46mm wide across the foot, 10.15mm wide across the catchplate and weighs 0.91g.
