Description: | Fragment of Roman bow brooch comprising a disc above a fantail. The top part of the brooch is missing. The whole is heavily tinned. The fantail is decorated with a pair of sub-traingular recesses. Curled over catchplate remains on the back of the fantail. The disc has a central pellet within a deep depression. There is a projecting lug to either side. Without the top part of the brooch it is difficult to classify. There are examples with this type of disc and fantail that are classified as trumpet type derivatives by Hattatt (Hattatt, R Brooches of Antiquitiy 1987, Oxford, nos.986 & 987). There are also examples of the bow and fantail type that exhibit this type of disc (Hattatt 1987, no.819). | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Herepath, Nick - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
