Brooch
A cast miniature object, imitating a bow brooch, possibly a Colchester derivative type. The head of the brooch comprises two hemispherical section wings and a central vestigial expansion representing the lug which would secure the axial rod. There is no spring or pin. The bow of the brooch is plain, D-shaped in section and tapers to a point. There is no catch plate. The absence of a catch plate, coupled with the vestigial nature of the axial lug, indicates that this brooch was not intended as a functional piece. Late first or early second century AD.
