Description: | An incomplete enamelled copper alloy Roman bow brooch of uncertain type dating to the period c. AD 50 - 150. Only a small fragment of the bow remains. The brooch measures 17.97mm in length, 8.86mm maximum width, 4.81mm minimum width, is 2.57mm thick and weighs 1.62g.The brooch commences in an old break and measures 8.86mm in width. It exhibits a longitudinal groove running down each long side. The bow is decorated by three raised lozengiform reserves. Each reserve is decorated by an incised groove following the shape of the reserve. In the centre of each reserve is a recess containing traces of red enamel. The brooch tapers to a width of 4.81mm and terminates in an old break.The brooch fragment is most likely from a T-shape brooch as it bears strong resemblances to other, more complete examples.Cf. Hattatt, R, 2007, p. 303, no. 386.Cf. WILT-258F4E & WILT-C6B6B1 for similar examples on the database.
