Description: | A copper alloy Roman bow brooch fragment. It consists of the foot of the bow and the catchplate only, the rest of the brooch is missing due to old breaks. The bow is flat backed with a rounded front. The catchplate is wide and trapezoidal in shape, with a triangular perforation occupying most of it. The catchplate edge is folded round at ninety degrees, forming a marked groove to hold a pin. Bow brooches with catchplates of this type generally date to the first two centuries AD. The object measures 38.71mm in surviving length and 15.68mm in width across the catchplate. It weighs 3.85g.
