Description: | Incomplete cast cu-alloy Wroxeter Type brooch dating from the early Roman period, i.e. c. AD43-150. Only the bow, part of the foot and head survive. Part of the head plate, spring coil, pin and catch-plate are missing. The upper part of the bow is semi-circular in cross-section with a flat upper and rounded underside. The front part of the bow is roughly oval with a flat, moulded triangular foot below. The upper surface of the bow is decorated with two moulded long, thin fields which run parallel to the outer edges. Within each field is a thin moulded zigzag line which may have possibly been surrounded by enamel. The brooch has no head stud, but a small punched dot-and-circlet instead.
