Description: | A Roman bow brooch fragment. It may be related to an Aesica type brooch, and consists of the foot only, which is fan-shaped, and a short length of the bow. This jutts out at right angles above the fan-tail for 8mm, before turning upwards at right angles again for 4mm and is then incomplete due to old breaks. The remains of a semi-circular catchplate are in situ at the foot on the back of the brooch. The outer surface of the fan-tail has relief-moulded decoration, with a semi-circular motif containing a raised circle, surmounted by a triangular motif on a stem rising from a semi-circular base. The fragment measures 26.79mm in surviving length and is 15.42mm wide at the base. It weighs 7.37g.
