Description: | Copper alloy with black paintPossible Brooch. Cast curving round section rod with flat expansion at one end. The finder kindly suggests this to be the bow and catch plate of a Roman brooch from which the upper bow, head and folded tip of catch plate have been lost. The black coating, round section of putative bow, and the detail at the meeting of bow and catch plate introduce some doubt to this reporter - the dark coating is especially suggestive of the early post-medieval date of many objects reported along with this item. Suggested date: possibly Early Roman, 40-100.Length: 36.5mm, Width (at 'catch plate'): 11.4mm, Diameter ('bow'): 4.9mm, Weight: 5.26gms.
