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 fragment of a solid curled catchplate. The foot is broken at either end, bevelled with a centrally raised rib. All 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 green patina with flashes of lighter green. It is 10.52mm long, 5.12mm wide across the foot,10.87mm wide across the catchplate and weighs 1.02g.
