Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy lion bow derivative brooch, dating from the 1st century AD (cf Hattatt 2000: 307, no. 280).The horizontal spring encasement is damaged and incomplete, and the spring and pin are missing. The upper part of the bow has a sub-rectangular depression at the centre of its upper surface. It's sides converge towards a 'bow-shaped' moulding, at the base of which is an oval plate. The missing foot section would have been attached to the back of this plate by means of a short copper-alloy rivet on the plate's underside. The brooch measures 34.7mm long, 23.1mm wide and weighs 6.95g.
