Description: | A cast copper alloy Bow-and-Fantail, bow brooch from the 1st - 2nd century. The head and upper bow are missing, due to a break. All that survives is the fantail. The fantail is made from a flared, flat traingular plate. This bears a motif of a double swirl. The area around the swirls is infilled with a blue enamel. The catchplate lies behind the centre of the flared foot. The metal is a mid greenish-brown colour. Similar brooches can be seen in Hattatt, p315, fig: 174.
