Description: | An incomplete Roman copper alloy hinged bow brooch, probably a trumpet-headed or trumpet-derivative type dating from the 1st-2nd century. A trace of the upper part of the catchplate survives on the reverse and a broken protrusion above the pin hinge indicates the location of the missing headloop. The flared head is broken at the corner and encloses the remains of the pin and the iron axial bar. There bow is chamfered above and below a circular boss with a central ring and below this are transverse ribs across which the bow is broken. It may once have flared outwards below the break, into a fan-like terminal, such as Hattatt (2000) Fig. 188, no. 86. The surviving piece measures 29.3 mm in length and 12.4 in width.
