Description: | A fragment of a copper alloy Roman (AD c.43-c.200) bow brooch, missing the top of its bow, the head, the pin and most of its catchplate. Overall, the fragment measures 64mm long and 13mm wide. The bow is D-shaped in cross-section. Most of it is straight, except for the broken end which curves towards the rear. The broken top end is only 4mm wide. The bow then expands in width. The widest part is formed by an oval transverse ridge. The bow then tapers gradually towards the foot that measures 6mm wide. Its terminal is turned upwards slightly. Only the stump of the catchplate survives on the reverse of the brooch, but it spans almost the whole length of the fragment.
