Description: | Incomplete, cast copper-alloy Rosette brooch. The spring of seven turns is housed within the closed flaps of the plain spring-case. The pin is missing. The bow springs straight from the head-plate, but is flattened slightly, curving into the centre of the disc. The bow has a longitudinal median moulding, with two narrow mouldings on each side. The disc is separate from the headplate, but is cast in with the rest of the brooch and is slightly convex in profile. There are four deep moulded flutes around the junction of the upper bow and plate. The flutes do not run behind the bow. The outer edges of the disc are damaged. Much of the lower bow is missing, but there appears to be longitudinal mouldings. The catchplate extends from the centre of the disc but is now incomplete. Similar to an example from Marlowe Car Park, Canterbury (MacKreth 1995, 971 no. 83 fig. 407)
