Description: | Part of a copper alloy Roman brooch with a double divided bow. It is 26.14mm long, 16.77mm wide and 12.01mm thick. It weighs 5.28g. The lower bow and the foot is missing. The head is tubular with a corroded iron pin mechanism (the pin itself is missing) and holes in the ends of the wings for the axis bar. There is a horizontal groove across the top of the bow and then the bow is divided into two. Each part is chevron shaped in section, and hollow behind. The bows are straight but may originally have been curved. There are traces of a white metal covering surviving. The only other divided bow brooches on the database are LANCUM-B7D8F5, YORYM-438426 and NCL-CC9BB5. Number 495 and 496 in Hattatt's Visual Catalogue are also similar. The brooch was probably a P shaped type. These date from 175 - 250.
