Description: | A cast copper alloy Crossbow brooch from the 3rd century. The head consists of a small tubular crossbar in which the pin is hinged, the pin is missing. The head is undecorated. The head then tapers inwards to form a thin and circular sectioned bow. Below this the brooch flares to form a collar and then a rounded knop. It is likely that the bow extended further below this knop but this has now broken off, also resulting in the loss of the catchplate. The metal is a mid greenish-brown colour and heavily pitted. Similar brooches can be seen in Hattatt, p368.
