Description: | An incomplete Bow-and-Fantail brooch (the spring cover, axis-bar, suspension loop, spring and pin are missing). The remaining part of the narrow bow is 13mm long and has been twisted and flattened. The fantail foot (18mm long and max. 18mm wide) is decorated with a lozenge or star above a swirl pattern. The foot is slightly bent on one side. On the reverse is an incomplete catchplate. There are several areas of bronze disease visible overall. A very similar, complete example is illustrated as No.76 in Fig.42 of Hattat's 'Ancient and Romano-British Brooches', pp103 and is categorised as 'Collingwood's Group X'.
