Description: | A cast copper-alloy fantail brooch of the 2nd century AD.The brooch is largely complete, missing only the sprung pin. The head of the brooch is formed by the top of the bow, with semi-cylindrical arms emerging from each side, with double incised lines at each end. The top of the bow has a low medial ridge of small serations flanked by a simple incised upside-down J to each side. A triple collar separates the bow from the fantail foot, which has a beaded border along all three outer edges, and a smaller set of parallel beaded lines down the centre. Raised lines form a triangle with slightly concave sides on each half of the fantail foot. The lower edge of the fantain has a small protruding knob at each corner and in the centre. The underside of the foot has a hooked catchplate.
