Description: | Roman copper alloy bow brooch, 45mm long, 12mm wide and 21mm deep. The object is in fair condition with a brown patina and weighs 18.38grams. The object consists of semi circular wings which contain a spring of 20 coils. The wings have raised, rounded terminals and a central raised ridge which is flanked by a linear incision. The bow is sub-circular in section and appears to be plain. It has snapped off just after it turns downwards and the brooch is very worn here, there is also an area of 'bubbling' on the underside, caused either by poor casting or corrosion?
