Description: | Copper alloy brooch fragment. Cast Bow and Fantail brooch, cf. Mackreth type CD H 7.b4. Cast brooch fragment comprising a pair of mid bow spurs with a longitudinal ridge rising between them, over an oval boss or ridge, above a long triangular fantail foot with a central decorated strip of six centrally placed lozenges with triangular cells to either side. An unpierced catch plate is folded behind the foot. The features above the mid bow distinguish this from an example illustrated by Mackreth (2011, volume 2, plate 59 no. 2872), though the additional decorative features do not appear in his other versions of fantailed brooches (e.g. ibid. plate 86). Suggested date: Early Roman, 75-175.Length: 33.3mm, Width ((fantail): 16.8mm, Thickness (foot clear of catch plate): 1.4mm, Weight: 5.41gms.
