Description: | An incomplete 1st century AD Roman brooch. The brooch has been cast in copper alloy. All that survives of the brooch is a fragment of the long, slender bow. The bow has been decorated with a very prominent ridge down the front surface, along the spine of the bow. File lines can be seen either side of the ridge and the edge of the bow is further decorated by a slight rim on either side. The bow has broken off before the head and the foot - the breaks are extremely worn and corroded. The catchplate survives in part but is also worn and corroded. The pin is also missing. The surface is pitted. The metal has a light greyish-green colour.
