Description: | Roman copper alloy fantail brooch, 37mm long and 25mm wide. The brooch is quite worn and is missing its spring and pin, although the catchplate is still attached. The spring casing is decorated on each side with two vertical bands of short horizontal lines. In the centre is a ridge running down into the body of the brooch. This consists of a diamond shaped surface with a small spherical knop on each side. In the centre of this is a circle with two raised diagonal lines across it. Below this is a trapezoidal shape with a slightly curved lower surface. The decoration in this section is formed by a triskele, three almond shapes arranged in a triangular formation, within the widest part of these almond shapes is a circle enclosing a dot. This decoration is enclosed by a traingle and the background is recessed and shows traces of red enamel. It is very similar to Hattatt type 819. | Subjects: | Fantail | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
