Description: | Incomplete copper alloy Roman bow-and-fantail or trumpet derivative brooch fragment. Only the foot and a short stub of the bow survive meaning that a definitive identification is not possible. The expanded trianguar foot is decorated with a trefoil-based raised design of three leaf-shaped (pointed oval) pellets surrounded by red enamel, in three sub-triangular recessed cells. Traces of the triangular catchplate survive on the reverse. There is a transverse ridge where the foot meets the bow. The bow narrows and is slightly bowed upwards and is broken at this point. Bow and fantail brooches are dated AD 50-150 and Trumpet derivative brooches are dated AD 75-175, this brooch has therefore been dated to cover these periods AD 50-175.
