Copper alloy brooch, Hattatt's "reversed fantail" type. Missing spring, pin and damage to the catchplate but otherwise in good condition.

Incomplete Roman T-shape bow brooch of 1st - 2nd century AD date. The brooch is represented by the upper bow and one of the wings only, and employed a hinge mechanism with tubular wings. The head is decorated with a raised chevron moulding around the hinge. The bow is flat with tapering sides. The upper bow is decorated with two opposing triangular cells set within a raised rectangular panel. The cells would have contained enamel. Small amounts of iron corrosion staining around the hinge may suggest an iron pin or axis bar.
