Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy artefact. This piece probably represents the foot and catchplate from a Late Roman crossbow brooch (see Hattatt 2000: figs. 227 and 228 for similar).The short length of the bow is of triangular section and broken at the top. The bow forms a right angle with the foot, the latter of which is of thin section, with sides that flare downwards before converging to a point. The highest point of the upper surface is at the longitudinal central ridge, either side of which is a line of three punched ring-and-dot marks. On the underside of the foot there is a circular-sectioned slot, which would have served as a catchplate. The surfaces of the piece have been tinned or silvered.Dimensions: 26.9mm long, 8.3mm wide, 9.3mm high. Weight: 3.4g.
