Description: | An incomplete cast copper-alloy bow brooch of Roman date. It is a Colchester derivative hinged brooch and the bow and both wings are present, the catchplate and pin missing due to old breaks. The bow is curved and tapered to a point and is d-shaped in section. It is very worn and it is not possible to be sure of the decoration on the bow or wings but it appears to have at least one longitudinal groove down the length of the bow. The wings are solid and taper slightly towards the outside ends. It is not possible to see any decoration. It measures 33.27mm in length, 27.29mm in width, 5.10mm in thickness and weighs 8.95g.It is similar to examples published from Hatcheston (Blagg et al, 2004, nos 115 and 116).
