Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy Roman hinged T-shaped tapering bow brooch. The pin of the brooch is missing and so is the catchplate. The ends of both the wings are worn and most of the lower part of the bow has broken off. The wings are tubular and where the wings are worn the ends of the iron axis, which would have secured the missing hinged pin, are exposed. The arch of the bow is a flattened D-shape in profile and tapers towards the missing foot. It has the remains of three raised moulded ridges extending from the head and tapering towards the lower bow, but these are now worn flat. Two thirds of the bow are missing, but another fragment of bow, that is probably from the same brooch, was found nearby by the same finder in November, 2004.See Record CORN-CA0CE5 for details of the bow fragment.Hattatt (2000) illustrates similar examples on page 302, Fig.161, Nos.385 & 917 which date from the 1st-2nd century AD.
