Description: | Cast copper alloy disc and fantail brooch dating from c.75- 175 AD.It has been silvered/tinned on the surface, some of which remains on the wings and head.The wings are rectangular with a cylindrical covering on the reverse to hold the axis bar. The pin is missing. The upper bow is triangular in plan, the widest part meeting the central circular disc. This is decorated with two concentric raised circles which could have been infilled with enamel but this is all missing now. The lower bow widens towards the end although the edges have broken off.
