Copper alloy fragment of a Roman bow brooch, late 1st- 2nd century in date. It is only the head which remains and it has been damaged.

The part of the brooch which remains is widest at the top of the head and narrows towards where it would have led into the bow. There is the remains of a lozenge shaped hollow with a smaller central raised lozenge, this could have been enamelled and so would indicate the br…
