Description: | Incomplete Roman copper alloy bow brooch of unknown / uncertain type. C-sectioned wings with traces of vertical mouldings and stump of rearhook. The spring and pin are missing. The bow rises in a prominant arch, is pierced by a transverse perforation and is stepped abruptly, before continuing as a prominant concave-sided vertical moulding with a rolled transverse moulding at base on the integral flat-sectioned and splayed continuation of the bow and foot. Damaged catchplate on reverse. No close parallel has been found, but the form is similar to an unclassified example from Quidenham (HER 13700), illustrated in Rogerson and Ashley 2012, Fig.2, no.6, and has a combination of features found on wing-and-fanbow and Aesica brooches (see Hattatt nos. 804, 805 and 1485 and Mackreth 2011, pls. 28-9. Wingspan 23mm. Extant length distorted 37mm. c.43 - c.75 AD.
