Description: | Copper alloy early type of Roman bow brooch called a Nauheim derivative dating to the first century AD.Only the bow remains, the pin and spring have broken away. It would have been a one piece brooch (the spring and pin being made from the same piece as the bow). The top of the bow has broken where it would have led into the spring. This has left a three pronged head, the central point being where the spring would have started. The bow has a circular cross section all the way down, narrowing to a point at the foot. The end of the bow has been bent around to form a hook shape. The catchplate has broken off.The brooch has a green/brown patina with a slightly pitted surface.
