A transverse ridge marks the top of the lower bow, which is of D-shaped section, its straight sides converging towards the bottom, where there is a semi-circular footknob. Iron corrosion from the pin adheres to the inner surface of the catchplate, which is unperforated and has a rolled outer side.Length: 28.3mm; maximum width: 6.4mm. Weight: 4.18g.This piece is probably part of a trumpet type brooch, a form which is thought to date from the late 1st to late 2nd century AD.
