Description: | Copper alloy brooch, bow and fantail type (Hull's "Celtic fantail", type 39). Missing pin; bow slightly bent and catchplate bent; bow front very worn; corrosion and concretion. The small headloop has a pointed top. Only traces survive of longitudinal grooves on the bow. No colour survives in the enamelled foot. Width 13mm, length 40mm. This type is very standardised and widely distributed - see Richborough (Bayley & Butcher 2004, 99-100, 255) no.238 with parallels referenced and Hattatt no 815; Suffolk examples include one from Barking and a recent find from Gedgrave.
