Description: | What remains of the brooch is the lower portion of the bow. It is from a Roman brooch, but its type cannot be narrowed down further, probably dating to the first to second century. It is made cast copper alloy. The lower portion of the bow semi-circular in section and tapers to a blunt bow foot. The bow is decorated with a central vertical ridge that has a central vertical groove with two fine vertical grooves. The catchplate is solid on the reverse, and the outer edge is curled around to catch the pin. The object has a matte grey/green surface with traces of a shiny grey coating, perhaps tinning or silvering. The brooch measures 34.85mm long and 5.49mm wide across the bow. It weighs 2.7g.
