Description: | Part of a Roman copper-alloy bow brooch.The uppermost surviving element is a short length of the upper bow, at the top of which is a well patinated break. Beneath this, two transverse ridges flank a wider and deeper central moulding, the surface of which has been decorated by means of a series of vertical incisions. The lower bow is of triangular section, its straight sides converging towards the base, where there is a moulded foot-knob and, on the underside, a damaged catchplate.Length: 30.4mm; width: 7.1mm. Weight: 1.91g.This would appear to be the remains of a trumpet-derivative brooch, a type dating from the late 1st to late 2nd century AD. Similar examples include Hattatt nos. 443, 962 and 963 (2000: Fig. 189).
