Description: | a copper alloy Roman bow brooch fragment. It is part of a Colchester derivative with double-pierced lug type. The upper bow with hook, shallow semi-cylindrical wings and spring of six coils are all that remain. The bow has a raised rib which continues into the hook, and a single longitudinal line of decoration. The fragment measures 12.61mm in surviving length, and 15.24mm across the wings. It weighs 3.08g.
