Description: | A fragment of a cast copper-alloy Roman bow brooch, probably of Colchester, Colchester derivative or T-shaped type, c. 1st-2nd century AD. The fragment consists of the curving catchment-end of the bow and retains the entire openwork catchplate. The remainder of the bow, head, spring and pin are all missing. The catchplate has an openwork oval aligned with its long axis in the direction of the bow. The bow is narrow in width and the joining angle of the pin-return suggests the bow had a significant arch. The fragment measures 28.5mm long. 12.6mm wide, 2.8mm thick and weighs 2.3g.
