Description: | A broken and poorly preserved copper-alloy Roman bow brooch of first to second century date. The brooch is missing the lower part of its bow and its pin mechanism, which was probably sprung. The wings are hollow and semi-cylindrical in shape, and would have held the pin mechanism. Moulded decoration in the form of a rib runs down the centre of the bow. The brooch measures 25.43 mm long, 19.10 mm wide, 10.79 mm thick and weighs 5.2 grams.
