Description: | Part of an Early Roman copper-alloy bow brooch.The surviving piece represents the foot and the lower part of the bow, with a well patinated break at the top. The slender bow has straight sides and tapers towards the bottom, where there is a footknob. The bow is generally of semicircular section, but the uppermost portion is of triangular section. A subovoid moulding marks the point at which this transition occurs. An unperforated catchplate with rolled outer side survives intact.Length: 25.9mm; width: 3.4mm; depth: 9.8mm. Weight: 1.91gThe form of this piece suggests it may be part of a T-shaped type (see Hattatt 2000: Fig. 162).
