Description: | An incomplete copper alloy Roman (AD c.43-c.200) bow brooch, missing its pin and hinge bar, the curl of its catchplate and part of its wings. Overall, the brooch measures 49.8mm long, 18.2mm wide and 20.6mm thick. It weighs 7.11g.The brooch appears to have been only partly finished. The wings are not rolled into a hollow cylinder and instead are straight and flat, projecting downwards from the top of the bow towards the foot of the brooch. One of the wings was incomplete when brought in, and since then a further fragment of that wing has broken off. The other wing appears intact, is roughly rectangular in shape and measures 15.8mm long, 8.1mm wide and 0.9mm thick. The bow is simple and rectangular in cross-section. It tapers in width from 9.8mm at the head to 3.5mm at the foot and is 2.1mm thick along its whole length. The terminal at the foot is barrel shaped (circular in cross-section). The catchplate is broadly triangular and projects from the reverse of the foot of the bow.
