Description: | a copper alloy Roman bow brooch fragment. It is the foot of the bow only, with a triangular catchplate. The bow is flat-backed, with a narrow raised longitudinal rib, flattened and covered with incised rocker decoration. It measures 26.79mm in length and its maximum width is 8.85mm across the catchplate. It weighs 2.32g. This is most probably the base of a Colchester derivative brooch dating to the late first to early second centuries AD. An example with similar decoration from Hatcheston is illustrated in Blagg et al 2004, no.82.
