Description: | Copper alloy bow and fantail brooch. The brooch has flat rectangular wings hiding a cylindtrical wing casing on its reverse. The casing contains an axis bar for a hinged pin. The pin is missing. There is an incomplete suspension loop at the top of the bow. The bow is short, arched and leads into a flat circular boss in the centre. The boss has a recessed band within it, which would probably once have contained enamel. The foot is triangular and decorated with an incised perimeter and two incised lines dividing the face into three triangles. There is a damaged catchplate on the reverse. The brooch is covered with patches of reddish-orange patina.
