Description: | An incomplete copper alloy Late Iron Age or early Roman strip bow brooch dating to the period c. AD 25 - 75. The brooch is broadly triangular in plan, with the widest section being the head of the brooch. At the head of the brooch the copper is rolled forwards to the reverse of the brooch and contains the pin bar. The simple hinged pin mechinism still functions however most of the pin is missing. Down the length of the bow the brooch is decorated with short parallel lines that run down the outside of either edge. The very foot of the brooch, which tapes to a near point, is missing and with it the catchplate for the pin.
