Description: | Copper alloyBrooch fragment. Cast spring fastened brooch with two coils of a spring and an elongated oval bow bearing paired vertical grooves defining a plain field; the edges to either side bear abraded punched cabled decoration. This resembles Mackreth's (2011, Plate 7 nos 4054 and 4014) Lowbury/class ND 2b-c brooch with decoration down each side of the upper bow. Unusually, the bow emerges under the chord of the spring rather than passing over it, which might suggest this brooch has been distorted; catch-plate and pin are both lost. Suggested date: Early Roman, 43-75.Length: 33.6mm, Width: 7.1mm, Thickness (bow): 1.8mm, Weight: 3.50gms.
