Description: | An almost complete cast copper alloy Roman bow and fantail brooch. Behind the rectangular head is a semi-cylindrical moulding with an incomplete hinged pin mechanism. The pin is incomplete and the copper alloy axis bar is visible from both sides of the moulding. On the top of the head is an integral chain loop. The short wings are undecorated and the narrowed and arched bow is rectangular in section and has a frontal vertical rib with a groove either side. The flat triangular leg has a worn pattern of a broken-back scroll with a lozenge above. Behind the leg is a complete catchplate with a length of 10.2mm and a width of 6.5mm. The length of the brooch is 39.5mm, the maximum width is 17.3mm and the weight is 6.44g. An exact parallel of the brooch can be found in Hattatt, 1987, P.63-64, No.815 that is also from Lincolnshire.
