Description: | Roman fantail brooch, incomplete, late 1st - early 2nd century. The hinged pin is missing; it would have been held on a copper alloy axis bar encased in the oval-sectioned cylindrical wings - the axis bar is also missing. There does not appear to have been a hook at the head of the bow. The brooch is corroded so any decoration there might have been on the wings and bow is not discernible, except for a circle on the expanded disc-shaped central section of the bow; the lower half of the bow (the foot) flares slightly, but the edges and corners are damaged. The catch-plate is damaged; its length is 16.3mm, extending from the base of the foot to just below the expanded central section of the bow. Mid green pitted surface. Length 42.1mm, width across wings 19.1mm, width across central disc 11.6mm, width across foot (incomplete) 11.0mm, overall thickness c.12mm, weight 8.77g.
