Description: | Cast copper alloy bow and fantail brooch dating to the Roman period. The object has short sub-tubular wings and a sub-triangular shaped head. The bow projects outwards from the head and straightens out before expanding into the wide fantail. The bow is rectangular in cross-section and undecorated. The fantail is decorated with a tri-lobed moulding, the top of which is a raised lozenge shape. The moulding then curves down towards each corner of the object where each side curves inwards on itself. The object is a hinged example and a small amount of the pin remains attached to the hinge. At the top of the object is a broken head-loop. The catchplate is small and has been damaged. The object is in very good condition and has a dark brown patina. It can be dated to 50-150AD.
