Bow-shaped Fragment with Knob
Etruscan
This curving fragment, triangular in section, is narrowest at the broken end, widening and flatting as it arches sharply to the top, which seems to be intact. On the top is a protruding boss consisting of two splayed discs, with the area between them deeply scooped out. The object is of unknown use; the intact portion does not resemble the bows of fibulae and seems closest to being a very small handle.
Leaded bronze
Archaic period to Hellenistic
