Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy Roman hinge-headed enamelled bow brooch, similar to Hattatt 1989, 324, fig 183, no 1554 and even more so to an example from Richborough (Bayley and Butcher 2004, 81, no 154, fig 60), although the enamelled decoration is different from both of these parallels. The pin was hinged in a narrow tube formed from the top of the bow rolled back, corroded iron adhers to this area presumably the remains of an iron pin. The rectangular bow flares towards its terminal, it has traces of decorative notches around its edges and in its centre is a rectangular recessed panel with traces of enamel within it. There appears to have been a white background enamel with red enamel circles overlying this, although only a fraction of the original enamel now survives. There is a semi-circular knob at the base of the bow. On the back face the catchplate is complete. This brooch measures 37.31mm in length and 14.85mm in width.
