Description: | A cast copper-alloy Roman bow brooch, a Trumpet headed derivative type. The brooch is worn and incomplete, missing its pin mechanism, pin and the foot of the bow. The head expands at the top to a 'trumpet head' and is hollow at the reverse with a central lug to secure the spring. The bow curves abrubtly before the head, and the head is almost at a right angle to the bow. There is a central moulded knop on the bow, just before the abrubpt curve. The remains of a catchplate are visible at the bottom of the broken bow. The brooch measures 40.98 mm long, 10.53 mm wide (at the head), 8 mm thick (at the thickest part of the bow) and weighs 10.7 grams. It has a worn pale green to dark green patina. It dates from the late first to second century AD.
