Description: | A fragment of a cast copper alloy Roman bow brooch from the 1st century (43 - 100 AD). The fragment consists of part of the foot and catchplate of a large Roman bow brooch with old breaks at both ends. One break is level with the end of the catchplate, the other has removed the terminal. The catchplate has two pierced triangular holes, one incomplete due to the loss of the terminal; the lower edge is bent up 180 degrees to hold the pin. There are three incised transverse lines on the top of the foot by the break. The artefact has a light to medium green surface. It is 13.9mm long, 16.6mm wide and 5.0mm thick. It weighs 2.87 grams.
