Description: | This copper alloy Roman Knee Variant Bow Brooch measures 25.76 mm long, 11.72 mm wide, 5.35 mm thick and weighs 3.43 grams.The bow and spring cover of the bow are extant. The spring and pin are absent and the majority of the catch-plate has also broken off.The head of the bow emerges into an ornate flat semi- circular plate, decorated with curvilinear moulded ridges. The remains of gold plating survives within these ridges.The bow bulges outward at its mid-point, however, a distinct s-shaped curve is also notible in the profile of the bow. Whether this is post-production or post-depositional deformation is uncertain.
