Description: | A very unusual variant of a bow and fantail brooch. The form is typical of a bow and fantail, having a reverse wing to hold a hinged pin, and the traditional flared foot. The upper centre of the bow has a solid cast roundel which contains two bands of enamel (red outer, blue inner) seperated by a band of copper alloy. The decoration within the fantail is a vertical set of three diamonds set with green enamel in rectangle of red enamel. This design is common on headstud brooches, however seems to be quite a rarity on bow and fantails. | Subjects: | Bow and fantail | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
