Description: | A fragment of Late Iron Age/ Roman (AD 25-70) copper alloy Strip-Bow brooch, consisting of the head and upper bow only. It measures 15.7x11.2x5mm and weighs 1.6g.The wings curl backwards around the corroded iron axis bar. The head (max.width) narrows to 9.8mm at the worn break.Bayley and Butcher (2004, p.154) think that this type of Strip-Bow brooch - with the wings curled away from the bow - may be pre-Conquest in date, although examples from Maiden Castle in Dorset have been found in contexts AD 25-70 (Wheeler 1943 fig.84 nos.17-27).
