Description: | A copper alloy fantail brooch dating to the Roman period, c. AD 43 to 200.The head of the brooch is sub-rectangular and cylindrical with a hollow core which would have held the hinge mechanism. There is the remains of an integrally cast headloop however this has broken away. The brooch narrows from the head before widening into a lozenge shape at the apex of the bow. There is a constriction before the bow widens into the fantail. There is moulded decoration on the fantail in the form of a series of lozenge-shaped cells which probably would have held enamel as can be seen on DUR-9B1BE2. Part of the catchplate is present however this is damaged and the pin is completely missing.
