Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy Roman Colchester bow brooch. It is missing most of the wings, the spring, pin and catchplate due to old breaks. The brooch has the remains of short, flat wings separated by an integrally cast rear-facing spring and forward facing hook, both of which are incomplete due to old breaks. The bow is circular in section and tapering to a point at the foot. There appears to be no decoration on the very worn surfaces, although the back face has been flattened slightly and this has produced several transverse grooves just below the head. It measures 47.61mm in length, 7.65mm in width at bow, and weighs 6.28g. This brooch is Roman in date and of Colchester type. Parallels are noted at Roman Hacheston (Blagg et al., 2004: no. 63) and indicate a date in the 1st century AD for the current example.
