Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy strip bow brooch of early Roman date. It measures 31.91mm by 8.31mm by 1.3mm and weighs 1.67g. The surviving fragment consists of a small portion of the wings, including the central notch, and a substantial proportion of the gently curving bow. The foot, catchplate and pin are missing. The bow tapers gradually towards the foot. It has a flat rectangular cross section. The front is decorated with three equally spaced vertical grooves. The central groove contains further closely spaced incised diagonalal lines. The back is flat and undecorated. A similar brooch, from Hod Hill in Dorset, can be seen in Hattatt's 'Visual Catalogue' (2000, p. 319, no. 40).
