Description: | An incomplete Late Iron Age/ Roman (AD 25-70) copper- alloy bow brooch and measures 51.45mm in length and weighs 3.99 grams.The wings are incomplete with a maximum width of 9.6mm. The wings appear to curl upwards to hold the axis bar. The curl is incomplete and the axis bar and pin are both missing.The bow tapers from 6.65mm to 2.15mm at the foot. It is decorated with four vertical grooves separated by five vertical ridges. The central ridge is decorated with diagonal incisions. The catchplate is broadly triangular and the curl of the catchplate survives. The reverse of the bow is undecorated.The apparent upwards curl of the wings to form the axis bar suggests that the brooch is a Hod Hill type. Due to the incomplete nature of the curl the brooch could be a number of different types with a downwards curl including a strip brooch.
