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 curled catchplate which may or may not have been perforated. The foot is plain but bevelled and ends complete without a foot knob. 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 and damaged with a mid green patina with flashes of lighter green. It is 30.35mm long, 4.2mm wide across the foot, 9.73mm wide across the catch plate and weighs 1.03g.
