Description: | An incompete copper-alloy Roman bow brooch, probably from a Colchester or derivative brooch. Only the lower part of the bow, foot and catchplate survive, the remainder now missing due to old breaks. The bow is oval in section, tapering towards the foot, which has a transverse rib followed by a small semi-circular knop. On the back face of the foot is an integrally cast semi-circular catchplate, missing its outer edge due to old breaks. The entire object measures 22.90mm in length, 3.89mm in width, 7.05mm in thickness (including catchplate, 2.06mm at bow), and 1.33g in weight. It is of 1st century AD date, c.43-100 AD.
