Description: | Copper alloy Brooch. Cast Bow and Fantail Brooch, Mackreth type TR 4.1.a. Tubular wings retain the stub of a hinged pin and are surmounted by the stub of an integrally cast top loop. A rounded section bow tapers towards a rhomboid plate bearing a central enamelled disc with a cross-shaped four petalled motif against a brick red field. Below the disc, the foot, now trimmed to oval form, bears a central triangle flanked by two others filled with orange enamel. On both the disc and the foot it is uncertain whether the central motif is rendered in enamel of an uncertain dark tint, or whether this is reserved metal. The stub of a catch plate lies behind the fantail. Abraded overall. Suggested date: Early Roman, 80-150.Length: 31.8mm, Width: 16.3mm, Thickness (crest of bow): 4.3mm, Weight: 5.64gms.
