Description: | Roman copper alloy bow brooch, 45mm long, 37mm wide and 16mm thick. The brooch is in fair condition with a brownish patina and weighs 14.10grams. The brooch appears to be a Colchester type which has been modified as the bottom half of the bow tapers sharply inwards as though it has been shortened. The brooch consists of wide solid wings which have a semi-circular section and are decorated with Vertical incised lines at their edges. When viewed from teh side the brooch has a circular 'head' which has two circular holes in it just above where the wings protrude. The bow is sub rectangular and is decorated with two incised lines running its length. half way down its length the brooch narrows considerably and becomes more rectangular in section. There is no sign of a catchplate on its reverse.
