Part of the bow and arms of a Roman copper alloy bow brooch of unknown type. The bow terminates before the break in a thickened section with three ridges. It then flares slightly to meet the arms, with vertical parallel ribs on the bow. The arms are solid and formed around what appears to be a central wire core.

The construction of the arms resembles that of a crossbow brooch (with the wire possibly allowing for the attachment of terminals, n…
