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, plain, foot section that would have run from the bow and ends complete without a foot knob, and a complete curled catchplate that has two subtriangular perforations. 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 green patina and brown corrosion encrustation. It is 20.23mm long, 3.18mm wide across the foot, 10.87mm wide across the catchplate and weighs 1.01g.
