Description: | Copper alloy brooch fragment. Foot with catchplate only, some corrosion on the surfaces. The bow is flat backed and straight in profile. A narrow rounded front has traces of logitudinal grooves; it expands at the sides to form a broad foot with curved end. This broad foot area is not decorated but a central tapering rib continues the line of the bow and probably at least one of the grooves. There is a small catchplate at the back joining the very end of the foot. Surviving length 18mm. The style and catchplate position suggest a Roman date but no foot of this shape could be found in Hattatt or Riha 1979 or local material - it is not even clear whether it is from a bow or plate type, though an Aesica variant group would be a possibility.
