Description: | Roman cast copper alloy bow brooch fragment; lower part of bow/foot only, 1st-2nd century AD. The bow is decorated with a central longitudinal knurled line with a ridge to either side; the decoration extends all the way down the bow to the simple tapering foot. On the reverse, the catchplate is broken off but extended 30mm up the bow. This would have been an unusually large brooch; probably a Polden Hill brooch (e.g. see Hattatt's Visual Catalogue (2000, Oxbow) fig.159 no.899), possibly a dolphin or T-shape brooch. Grey-green patina with some light green pitting. Length (incomplete) 41.4mm, width 7.0mm, thickness at break 5.7mm, weight 7.16g.
