A copper alloy Roman bow brooch. The brooch is 35.3mm long, 11.7mm wide and 20.3mm deep. It was probably a trumpet brooch, but it is damaged, possibly by fire causing melting, and the type of brooch is no longer clear. The pin and mechanism are missing but traces of the catchplate survive. The foot is tilted forwards. There are bumps in the middle of the bow which may be the remains of an acanthus button. The probably mouth of the trumpet is deeply pitted and distorted. Traces of a red material survive, particularly near the foot and on the side of the bow. It is not clear whether thi…

2nd to 3rd century copper alloy Roman brooch. Hattatt describes this brooch as an oval brooch with intaglio, though the intaglio is missing from this example. The brooch is oval in plan and has a moulded, raised outer rim, 2mm wide, and a moulded raised inner oval rim, within which the missing intaglio would have been fixed. The surface of the brooch shows traces of silvering or tinning. There are no traces of enamel between the outer and inner, but it is likely that enamel was present originally. More complete examples have had undivided alternating segments of blue and another colour…
