Description: | Roman bow brooch with some blue and orange enamel remaining.A derivative of a Wirral/ trumpet type bow brooch. This is an unusual variation and has some nice detail remaining. The bow is very pronounced and the body of the brooch is quite short. The main body of the brooch is complete although it has broken before the foot. The pin was on a spring of 4 turns and this still reamins although the pin is now missing. Some of the catchplate is present. The head plate takes the form of 3 steps which are enamelled with orange. There could have been a loop at the top as there is a broken edge there, but this is not certain. All the way down the bow are triangular cells, one row on each side, which are filled with blue enamel. The lozenges in between the triangles are just metal. In the middle of the bow is a hexagonal boss which has been marked with a cross. This could have contained enamel but none remains.
