Description: | A very corroded, incomplete Roman cast copper-alloy brooch, probably best described as strip bow type (1st century AD). The brooch has a hinged head, 14.7mm wide, with the pin still in place. The head is curled round, from the upper surface to the lower, and retains an axis bar. The pin has a rounded head and has been broken and bent to one side (L.: 14.4mm). The bow is decorated with longitudinal ridges in low relief. The fragment terminates in an old, ragged break part way down the bow; the bow has also been bent downwards. The brooch has a dark-grey patina where it survives over a red-brown metal with areas of light-green corrosion product.
