Description: | Roman copper alloy bow brooch fragment, consisting of the wings, axis bar, part of the spring and part of the bow - the catch-plate, the pin and most of the bow are missing. It weighs 4.9g and is 22mm wide and 14.5mm in length and has a uniform green patination. At the centre of the front of the wings is the remains of a loop, now measuring 5mm wide by 2.2mm high. The bow has a flat profile 6.7mm wide by 2.8mm thick with a central raised rib as decoration. There are 2 incised lines on both sides near the outer edges of the spring case wings. No parallels have been found in Hattatt, but the brooch may be a Polden Hill derivative.
