Description: | Catchplate and foot end of a copper alloy Roman brooch. Possibly Polden Hill type as it appears very similar to Hattatt (1982) p.70, 25.The break is old and the remainder of the bow is oval in cross section, widening very gradually away from the foot with a knob at the foot. The remainding bow is 32mm long including the knob and 4.4 mm wide at the widest point. The knob is divided from the rest of the bow and catchplate by a shallow groove; it is 3.4mm long, 3.4mm wide and 3.4mm thick.The catchplate appears complete; it is solid and 1.5mm thick. The groove to hold the pin is 13.7mm long and 4.1 mm wide at it's widest point; from the pin groove the catchplate curves up and outward till it meets the bow.
