Description: | Copper alloy and iron brooch. Bow and fantail brooch, Mackreth type CD H 7. Cast tubular wings retain an axis bar, probably of iron to judge from corrosion on the head, retaining the stub of a copper alloy pin. The wings are clasped by a rounded section bow with a pair of ribs at its top converging from its sides to its crest. The bow tapers sharply to a residual pointed ridge running down the upper central part of a triangular or fantail foot. The surface of the fantail is now entirely plain; it retains the stub of an unpierced folded catch plate behind it. Twisted at the junction of bow and fantail. Suggested date: Early Roman, 60-120.Length: 39.5mm, Width: 27mm, Thickness (crest of bow): 7.1mm, Weight: 10.43gms.
