Description: | A copper alloy catchplate of a Roman bow brooch. The plate is unperforated, although there is a triangular indentation on one face. The foot of the bow does not taper to a point, but remains 4mm wide along its 21mm length. It is decorated with a central ridge. In total the fragment measures 21x4x10mm and weighs 1.60g.It is simiar to the two piece Colchester brooch 257 in Hattatt (1989), although without the groove to accomodate the pin in the catchplate. It could however be a fragment of Colchester one-piece, dolphin, T-shaped or Langton Down brooch. It dates to either the 1st or 2nd century.
