Description: | A copper-alloy fragment of a Roman bow brooch of probable Trumpet, Trumpet derivative or headstud type. It is likely to date from the late first to second century AD. Only the lower part of the bow remains. This is decorated with a bordered linear band which runs down the centre. Either side of this there are a series of moulded pellets running down the bow. The bow terminates in a circular knopped foot with a collar above. The remains of a catchplate are visible on the reverse of the bow. It measures 41.44 mm long, 9.63 mm wide, 5.73 mm thick and weighs 6.5 grams. It has a dark green patina.
