Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy Romano British strip brooch. The flat square shaped head plate is decorated with a number of transverse grooves and has two lateral notches. The tip of the head has an asymmetrically set notch, the sides of which are folded back to secure the pin hinge, one side of which is missing. The mechanism was a hinge type, but both the axis bar and the pin are missing. Traces of iron corrosion around the hinge suggest that parts of the mechanism were iron. The slightly curved flat bow has a rib running down the length and is truncated. Both the foot and catchplate are missing. The surviving length is 31.6mm, the width is 13.5mm, the thickness is 2.3mm and the weight is 3.67g.
