Description: | A Roman copper Alloy Bow Brooch measuring 21.27 mm long, 19.07 mm wide, 9.60 mm thick and weighing 3.93 grams.The bow is fragmentary and only the spring cover, spring and the upper portion of the bow are extant. The foot, catch-plate and pin are absent.This brooch does not have the characteristic bow 'bulge' of typical Knee variants and is actually more similar in style to Polden Hill brooches although the knobular bow head characteristic of these brooches appears more rectilinear in this case. The presence of a hook over the edge of the bow head to hold the external chord of the spring is also more characteristic of Colchester DerivativesThe brooch has moulded linear ridges decorating the spring cover and the bow.
