Description: | An incomplete Roman copper alloy bow and fantail brooch, Roman in date (c AD50-150). The brooch has a flat D-shaped bow and rectangular wings.The wings are an elongated rectangle with rounded ends, slightly concave at the back to accommodate the pin (now missing). The bow is made up of two parts; the upper bow forms a diamond shape and the lower bow demonstrates a typical triangular fan-shape. Enamelling is present over the entire front surface. On the upper bow a geometric pattern is formed out of a series of red, yellow and blue triangles with a series of small red dots in two lines running down the front of the bow. On the fantail section of the bow a slightly different geometric design is portrayed consisting of red triangles between which are three yellow dots. The back of the bow is plain and the catchplate is mostly intact, though the pin has been lost. The brooch is in good condition and has a mid green patina.For comparison see record BERK-744773
