An incomplete copper alloy Aesica type bow brooch dating to the early Romano-British period (circa AD 43-100).

This may be a crude replacement for a hinged pin, as the aperture is rather slim and squared off. The bow has an arched lozenge-shaped form with a central cast longitudinal rib flanked by two triangular 'wings'. These each contain a curved triangular inset to hold enamel, perhaps originally red in colour. Either side of the central rib is a groove con…

The other surface of each wing is flat and undecorated. A second ribbed moulding and two diagonal incisions are visible near the broken end of the ring oppo…
