Description: | An incomplete copper alloy cast bow and fantail brooch, Roman in date (c AD50-150). The brooch consists of a head with moulded ends and a curved bow which widens out from a circular panel about halfway down the bow. The circular panel consists of a raised circular panel which would have contained enamelled decoration. The bow widens to the base in to a fan shape which is badly corroded and any decoration is now unclear. The back of the brooch is plain. The catchplate is still intact but the hinge and pin do not survive. The object is corroded and has a dark green patchy patina.See examples in Hattatt, R. (1989) A visual catalogue of Ancient Brooches, Oxbow fig. 174.See record DUR-CEB1D5 for comparison.
