Description: | an incomplete copper alloy Roman bow brooch It consists of the bow, head and spring case, with the catch plate and pin missing. The wings are semi-cylindrical, and widened to form part of the upper bow. The lower part of the bow tapers to a narrow, incomplete terminal. The wings have grooving, and the upper bow has a crest rib forming a perforated lug extension or loop on the top of the brooch. There is pronounced V-moulding below this, down the bow. The brooch measures 32,88mm in length and 29.12mm in width. It weighs 10.34g. A similar example is illustrated by Hattatt, fig.36 no.382, from Wiltshire. It is a type strongly centred on the lower Severn area and examples from East Anglia are less common. It is likely to date to the late first-early second centuries AD.
