Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy Roman Colchester derivative bow brooch. Only the foot and catchplate survive, the remainder of the brooch now missing due to old breaks. The bow is triangular in section with flat back and central rib on the front face. On the back face of the foot is an integral catchplate that is triangular in form with curved outer edge, incised pin slot and two small perforations, one circular and one triangular. All surfaces are dark in colour/blackened and possibly indicate exposure to high temperatures. It measures 23.66mm in length, 4.76mm in width, 2.12mm in thickness at bow (8.88mm including catchplate), and weighs 1.87g. This is a fragment from a Roman Colchester derivative bow brooch of 1st century date, c.43-120 AD.
