Description: | A largely complete late Roman crossbow brooch, 68mm in length and 51mm wide. The brooch, which is in very good condition, has a hinged pin, now truncated, and a pair of separately-attached globular finials on the side wings. A third finial was probably present on the head of the brooch but is now missing. The head bar of the brooch has a stepped edge when viewed in plan and has four circular apertures arranged along its length. The arched bow is decorated with groups of lateral grooves and zigzag grooves; the sides of the bow are plain. The face of the catchplate, below the bow, is decorated with pairs of lateral grooves and accompanying sloping facets. There are three vertical grooves on the tip of the foot.
