Description: | A cast copper alloy 'bow-and-fantail' brooch, of the Roman period. Most of the brooch survives, although it is bent in the centre. Most of the pin is missing, along with whatever once filled the decorative central cell. The brooch has the normal cylindrical case at its head, housing the intact spring mechanism; on the 'lower' side, the case is decorated with a series of lines or parallel indentations. The upper part of the body is facetted rather than rounded. The central cell is oval in shape, with a hole for the securing of the original decorative device. Above and below the cell are two small domed, collared decorations. The lower body is flat and fans out in a triangle. The catchplate is intact and still bent over. This artefact dates to the 1st or 2nd century AD.
