Description: | a copper alloy Roman bow brooch. It is the upper part of a Colchester type two-piece brooch, with a double-pierced lug, and short, incomplete semi-cylindrical wings. The bow is D-shaped in cross-section, with a rounded faceted back. It is decorated with a central groove flanked by two shorter grooves. The bow terminal is rounded and incomplete, and the spring chord and pin are missing. The brooch fragment measures 24.3mm in length and 16.75mm in width across the wings. It weighs 5.16g. It is quite worn. It ressembles Hattatt no.872. Brooches of similar type from Suffolk sites include illustrated examples from Hacheston, where a date range from about 65-80 AD is suggested.
