Description: | The leg and foot from a corroded cast copper-alloy Roman bow brooch of probable 1st-century AD date. The sub-triangular catch-plate survives well and has a curved inner side. It features two opposing broadly triangular perforations within a zone slightly recessed from the sides. The curved element which retains the pin is 18.6mm long, with some abrasions along its length. It is delineated by a longitudinal groove. The bow is broken just above the catch-plate; it can be seen to be broadly triangular in cross-section. It tapers gradually towards the terminal. It upper surface is decorated with five longitudinal low ridges, one central, one at each side, with one in between. The brooch now has a variable mid-green patina.
