Description: | A worn fragment from a cast copper-alloy Roman brooch derived from the Aucissa type (eg. the Bagendon and Hod Hill types). The fragment consists of the head and upper part of the bow. The head is of hollow cylindrical construction with a central slot for the (now missing) pin. That the axis bar for the pin was made of iron is evidenced by traces of orange corrosion product at the head. Below, the head incurves into the bow; the bow proper is perhaps delineated by a transverse ridge and groove. The bow then tapers towards the break (W.: 6.0mm-3.2mm).
