Description: | A fragment from a cast copper-alloy Roman 1st-century bow brooch consisting of the leg with the catch-plate on the lower surface. The leg is T-shaped in profile due to a central longitudinal ridge which is decorated along its length by finely incised transverse lines. The sub-triangular catch-plate survives well, its web extending for 18.1mm. The angled side which would have retained the pin measures 12.85mm. There is a small internal moulding parallel to the side that would have helped hold the pin a place. The fragment has a variable mid/dark-green colour with some more active corrosion and patches of off-white corrosion product.
