Description: | The foot of a large cast copper alloy bow brooch of early Roman date. The fragment measures 29.1mm by 12mm by 3.3mm and weighs 5.1g. The front of the foot is slightly convex and it projects forward at the base, where there is a horizontal line which defines the D-shaped terminal. The large triangular curving catchplate is undamaged. The fragment probably formed part of a T-shape brooch (Sally Worrell pers. comm.). The closest parallel for the foot in Hattatt's Visual Catalogue is a plate-headed T-shape brooch of probable 2nd century AD date (2000, p. 305, fig. 164, no. 406).
