Description: | a copper alloy Roman bow brooch fragment. It may be part of a P-shaped brooch, consisting of the semi-cylindrical spring case and the upper part of the bow, the rest missing due to old breaks. The spring case is 10.3mm in width, with part of the spring coils in situ but corroded, and the pin is missing. The bow is flat-backed and D-shaped. The fragment measures 19.6mm in length and weighs 1.97g. An example with a similar shape to its upper part, is illustrated in Hattatt no.493, although it has a wider spring case. Brooches of this type date to the late 2nd to mid 3rd century.
