Description: | Copper alloyBrooch. Large Bow and Fantail Brooch, distinct from the more numerous class of smaller brooches with enamelled cells. Cast semi-tubular wings with triple vertical billeted mouldings framed by possibly incised cuts between moulded grooves. The concave back of the wings retain white material. They are met by a humped D section bow with a medial longitudinal ridge. The bow is interrupted at what would normally be its midpoint by a billeted horizontal moulding. Below this a flat fan shaped foot retains the stub of a catch plate behind. Ridges at its edges and centreline each terminate in a rounded knop. The decorative characteristics combine features of various Colchester Derivative and Trumpet forms of brooch. Suggested date: Early Roman, 75-150.Length: 42.3mm, Width: 32.8mm, Thickness (crest of bow): 6.3mm, Weight: 14.74gms.
