Description: | Catchplate of a Roman bow brooch. The object is covered in a pale green patina. It measures 30x15x4mm and weighs 3.16g. The catchplate is perforated with 5 small triangular holes c.3mm. There is a groove behind the catch in which the pin would have sat. The bow has a maximum width of 4mm and is decorated with a groove along its centre which finnishes half way along the length of the catchplate. Around the foot is a single transverse groove.The only example of a catchplate is multiple perforations in Hattatt (1987, no. 251) is a Colchester Type one-piece brooch, so this fragment may be early 1st century. However, as this identification is not certain a date of 1st-2nd century is suggested.
