Incomplete Late Iron Age or Early Roman copper alloy flat-backed unidentified object. A D-sectioned rod broken at one end runs between, and bifurcates to curl partly around, two integral comma-shaped elements on both of which a crescentic cell was probably once inlaid with enamel.

Badly bent fragment of a Late Iron Age copper alloy one-piece bow brooch with the spring, pin, upper end of the bow and the outer part of the framed catchplate with almost all of its central subdividing bar missing.
