Description: | An incomplete cast coper-alloy Colchester derivative Roman bow brooch of 1st century AD date. The foot of the bow including catchplate survive intact, the remainder missing due to old breaks. The bow is circular in section, tapering towards the foot. On the back face is an integrally cast catchplate that is triangular in form with folded outer edge, deeply incised pin slot and large central triangular perforation. Toolmarks are visible on all surfaces of the brooch but there is seemingly no other decoration. This fragment measures 26.58mm in length, 3mm in width, 10.24mm in thickness (including catchplate), and weighs 1.53g. It is from the foot of a Colchester derivative Roman brooch dating to the 1st century AD or c.43-100 AD.
