Description: | A fragment of a cast copper-alloy knee brooch. The object is classified as Type D, sub-group 5.1d according to Snape (1993:45) and Collingwood Group V according to Hattatt. These classifications date the fragment to the mid-second to the mid-third centuries AD.The fantail is flat when viewed from the front, though there is a slightly concave cavity between the two springcase plates in the back. The body of the 'knee' is hollow and the fragment ends after narrowing and curving under the fantail. Toward the narrow end, and on the reverse side, a ridge begins to appear, perhaps as the start of the catchplate.
