Description: | A copper-alloy Roman fantail brooch, c. 50-150 AD, or perhaps a trumpet derivative type of 43 - 200 AD.The head of the brooch has narrow rectangular wings and are undecorated. The head has a modified solid headloop which is also intact, as are the pin bar and the sprung pin of seven turns. The shaft of the pin is broken and the point is missing.Below the head on the upper bow is a flat roundel, slightly oval in shape with three concentric rings of decotation, the outer ring contains traces of blue enamel and the second ring contains traces of red enamel. The center of the roundel is undecorated although it seems likely that this would also have been covered in decoration which has worn away.only a small portion of the lower bow remains but it would appear that the lower bow would have flared out into a fantail. Traces of red enamel can also be seen on the portion of the lower bow that remains.
