Description: | An incomplete copper alloy Roman bow brooch, probably a T-shape derivative, dating to the period c. AD 50 - 150. The head, wings, pin and upper bow are missing. The brooch now measures 26.09mm in length, 8.38mm maximum width, 6.74mm minimum width, is 12.52mm thick and weighs 3.85g.The brooch commences in an old break and tapers to the foot. The bow is decorated by a series of triangles made up of transverse grooves, creating a plaited effect. These are borders on either side by two parallel longitudinal grooves. The catchplate projects from the reverse of the foot and terminates in a rolled pin rest.Brooches with similar decoration are illustrated in Mackreth, D. M, 2011, Vol. II, p. 73, pl. 70, nos. 7057, 7048 & 7098.
