Description: | A copper-alloy Roman fantail brooch, c. 50-150 AD, or perhaps a trumpet derivative type of 43 ?? 200 AD. The lower bow of the brooch is a slightly flared rectangle decorated with a panel of blue enamel within which is an isosceles triangle enameled in red. Above is a flat forwards facing roundel, slightly oval in shape, containing red enamel with a central dot of the underlying copper-alloy and a ring of blue round it. The narrow rectangular wings of the brooch are undecorated. The head loop remains intact as do the catch plate (though missing the turned over part), the pin bar, and the sprung pin of six turns. The shaft of the pin is broken and the point is missing. The brooch is 35.2mm long, 13.6mm wide, and 13mm thick. It weighs 5.74gm. It has similarities to Hattat, Visual Catalogue of Ancient Brooches, p.315, number 74, and page 330, number 987. A patch of silvering survives on the lower bow, and the copper has a deep green glossy patina. | Subjects: | fantail or trumpet derivitive | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Cooper, Amy - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
