Description: | A cast copper-alloy Roman bow brooch, broken and incomplete. The brooch has open semi-cylindrical wings which probably had pierced plates at each end, although these and the pin mechanism that the wings would have contained are now missing. 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 32.06 mm long, 34.09 mm wide across the wings, 14.73 thick from the head to the back of the bow and weighs 13.2 grams. It has a worn pale brown patina.
