Description: | The leg and catchplate of a cast copper alloy Roman bow brooch. The upper portion of the brooch, from above the point where the catchplate starts, is missing. At this point there are three horizontal raised and rounded bands, of which the central example is slightly wider than the others. The central band is decorated with faintly incised vertical lines. Below this, the leg of the brooch tapers towards the rounded, forward projecting foot. The foot has a sideways D-shape with a flat base and is decorated with a faint horizontal zigzag motif. The hooked catchplate projects from the reverse to a depth of 13.5mm, although a small portion of the upper part of the hook has been broken off. This fragment probably once formed part of a T-shape or trumpet derivative brooch, but not enough of the object survives to be certain.
