Description: | Roman copper alloy bow and fantail brooch. The object is 39mm long, 20mm wide, 15mm thick, and weighs 7.26grms.
Hattatt type 817 (fig 174)
The brooch has a pin bar lug (double lug) with a hinged mechanism. The pin partially survives.
The object has a bow with a pronounced curve, and is dome-shaped in cross-section. The bow flattens and flares out to the fantail that is triangular in form, with a curved foot. The bow has two incised lines running down its length, forming a central ridge. The stub of a loop remains on the wings at the head of the brooch. The back of the fantail has a blade-like protrusion for the catchplate, but this is broken.
The decoration of the fantail consists of three triangular depressions arranged as the points of a larger triangle. One of the three has some enamel remaining in it.
The brooch is in fair condition with a green and brown patina. | Subjects: | Bow and Fantail Hattatt type 817 | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Johns, Phillip | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
