Description: | A cast copper-alloy Roman bow brooch, broken and incomplete. The brooch has open semi-cylindrical wings with pierced plates at each end. Inside the wings the remains of the sprung pin mechanism remain, with a spring consisting of four coils. The pin has broken off. The head of the bow has moulded decoration above the wings, consistent with Polden Hill brooches of the late first to second century AD. The bow curves from the head and tapers down towards the break. Most of the bow is missing. The incomplete brooch measures 18.31 mm long, 14.63 mm wide across the wings, 12.61 thick from the head to the back of the bow and weighs 4.3 grams. It has a worn pale brown patina.
