Short semi-circular solid wings with sharp deep vertical mouldings and surmounted by an integrally cast loop bear a pair of semi-circular lugs behind which retain an axis bar and a four coil spring mounted on it between the lugs. The bow, of rectangular section, has a broad central gutter with a long V-shaped central moulding, and tapering towards a pedestal foot. Behind the lower bow an unpierced folded catch plate is stepped along its curving upper edge. The mouldings are uniformly crisp. Suggested date: Early Roman, 80-100.Length: 44.3mm, Width: 15.6mm, Thickness (crest of bow): 4.7mm, Weight: 6.95gms.
