Description: | The foot of a large cast copper alloy bow brooch of first or second century AD date. The fragment measures 32mm by 11.2mm by 3.1mm and weighs 4.71g. The front face is slightly convex and the back flat. It is undecorated but the faint remains of tinning or silvering can be discerned. The terminal flares out and curves forward and behind it is a large triangular catchplate with a curving edge. It may have come from a plate-headed T-Shape brooch similar to no. 406 in Hattatt's 'Visual Catalogue' (2000, p. 305, fig. 164) which is from Cirencester, Gloucestershire.
