This is an atypical form, most toggles either having a transverse aperture in the head or a loop springing directly from the head, and in view of this the object would perhaps be better described as a button-and-loop fastener. 1st century BC/AD.

An Iron Age bow brooch, with the foot and catchplate missing. The plain wings are apparently complete, and it has a very broad hollow-backed bow with a median groove. On the reverse of the head, there is a horizontal lug for a hinged pin. This aperture is now filled with iron, similar to that of Hattatt no.1444. This example may be ascribed to Hawkes and Hull 1987 Group L. The surviving piece measures 33mm in length, with a wingspan of 18mm. The width of the bow is 14mm. The form of the bow suggests a date in the 6th-3rd century BC.
