Description: | Cast copper alloy Aesica type brooch dating to the Roman period. The object has a high arched bow with wings and a fantail foot-plate. It is a sprung example, the remains of which can be seen in the spring-case. The brooch has a linear central moulding running from the head down the bow. It divides at the wings, coming together again below the wings and creating a triangular shape. Mirroring this is an inverted triangle moulding in the centre of the fantail. The pin is missing and only a small amount of the catchplate survives. It has a light green patina and is in good condition. Similar examples which can be seen on the database are LIN-4BE281 and GLO-BC4AE4. The object can be dated from AD50-75.
