Description: | A bow brooch, possibly made of pewter or lead and dates to the first century. The bow is sub-circular in cross-section and is 30.2mm long. It tapers, becoming narrower towards the end furthest from the cross-piece. There is an irregular break at the narrower end. There is no catchplate. The wings are also circular in cross-section and flare out, away from the bow. One wing is broken and the break is worn smooth. The brooch is 21mm wide and is a dull grey. The entire bow and the front of the wings have slight ridges along their length. Otherwise, there is no decoration.
