It consists of a long, thin trapezoidal plate connected by an angled section to the head, probably for a hinged pin. It is unclear to what extent the head survives; the brooch is broken at the start of a section that is expanded slightly from that from which it extends. It may have developed into a tubular head to retain an axis bar for a hinged pin; there are hints of a central pin slot. As noted, a small angled section connects this to the plate; it is set at an angle of just over 45 degrees. The plate has a raised border around the front within which a transverse arrangement of enamelled stripes fills the recess. The enamel now appears to alternate between orange and turquoise, starting with orange at the head end, and possibly three stripes of each, before terminating in a large light-blue patch at the catch-plate end.
At the foot the trapezoidal plate is squared off with a small central foot knop projecting beyond. The knop is sub-triangular, having a rounded tip. On the reverse, a short catch-plate runs along the centre of the foot knop, extending into the plate reverse for around the same length again. The catch-plate appears now as a sub-rectangular tab, now slightly bent and abraded.
Measurements: length: 33 mm; width (max.): 9.5 mm; weight: 5.06 g
This appears to be part of a group of unusual and variable hinge-headed enamelled brooches, found in Britain and the continent. Mackreth (2011, pl. 67) illustrates a very similar seeming example with a similar lower trapezoid bow with foot knop. Mackreth (ibid) groups similar as X.4 and states all current known examples come from the South West but does not speculate on dating.
Hattatt (2000, 324) illustrates a broadly similar example, no. 997 (unprovenanced), with a faceted and curved upper bow and rectangular plate below which contains multiple different colours of enamel in bands and sections within the cell. His (ibid.) no. 463 has a trapezoidal plate like this example but a more elaborate upper bow and no foot knop. He suggests a 1st- to 2nd-century date for these.
Similar continental examples are listed on http://artefacts.mom.fr, under the reference FIB-41091 - a variant of Feugère's (1985) Type 26a - for which a date range of AD 120-250 is suggested.2121502504DEV2022-10-19T00:00:00ZSCC receipt 0232842023-02-15T16:32:14Z2023-03-22T11:55:24Z5.06PAS63ED090E0014DD9.533171221439251682443925WiltshireWiltshireBritfordSU122751.0422314-1.83021096bands.shops.handy10DEV-D09333Copper alloy10627Inlaid with enamelIncompleteROMANx41218ROMANx41218x41218Metal detectorReturned to finderDEVD090E5bowbrooch.jpg1215131images/rwebley2/Certain12023-03-22T11:55:24.545Zfinds-10979131097913DEV-4C96A4HARNESS FITTINGROMANAn incomplete Roman copper-alloy strap-mounted and skirted terret ring. Only the base of the main ring now survives, with slightly more surviving one side of the skirt. It is broadly of D-shaped cross-section, with flat interior with rounded corners. It is moulded externally into a series of segments of differing sizes; not enough of the ring survives to discern a pattern. Below the main ring is a waist below which the hollow skirt expands. The skirt was apparently formed of two 'leaves', one now highly abraded. The other main part of the skirt is sub triangular. Set below, the curved attachment loop is a shallow semicircle, broadly rectangular with rounded corners in cross-section. It narrows slightly towards its centre.
Measurements: Maximum surviving length 30 mm, maximum width 34 mm, the internal width of attachment loop is up to c. 16 mm; weight 21.00 g

AD 10-100 (Plouviez period E). While much of the brooch survives, the integral pin is missing, as is the catch-plate.
At the top of the bow is the head of the brooch. The head was probably made of four coils of circular cross-section, two either side of the bow, but the internal coil that would have developed into the bow has been lost to an old break. The coils on the other side of the bow may have been squashed flat. When viewed head uppermost, the first coil to the left of the pin and bow is a direct continuation of the bow. From this coil, the spring wraps around to the left forming the next spring before curving undeneath the bottom of the row of coils and behind the plate, giving the brooch an internal chord, before folding back up to curve into the coil on the right end of of the head before the break.
From the head of the brooch the bow expands horizontally into a very shallowly convex, drop-shaped bow which is flat and thus broadly of rectangular cross-section. This attains a maximum width of c. 8.5 mm quickly before then tapering gradually. Having thinned to an effectively circular cross-sectioned wire, the brooch has broken before it developed into the catch-plate. The front of the bow is somewhat corroded and pitted, but is seemingly plain.
Measurements: 40.5 mm in length, up to 12 mm in width; weight 2.80 g
Similar brooches are illustrated by Hattat (2000, 290, fig. 149) which are termed as La Tène III brooches.

Around 30% of the original mount has been lost to old breaks, at one short end, but also the adjacent longer sides. At the other end, the short side is seemingly intact, with a raised transverse strip; the recessed reverse may have retained a separate rod. The mount is formed of a thin, pressed sheet plate a raised concentric circle design having covered most of the field. This was formed of a central pellet in a dished recess with a raised ring around, at approximately the same height. Beyond this, after a groove, is a further, lower ring, and circumferential band beyond between two grooves. Between the concentric design and the extant corners is a perforation for attachment, one towards each corner.
This mount has suffered losses and cracks at weak points: at one of the rivet hole, the long edge around the concentric design, and also at various points of the design where raised elements meet grooves, particularly at one of the longer sides. The whole of the mount's front was seemingly once entirely coated with either silvering or tinning.
Measurements: 33.5 mm in length, 34.5 mm in width; weight 2.94 g
Both rectilinear mounts and belt plates are known from early Roman belt sets and insufficient of this object survives to be sure of its original use. A belt mount with similar raised design of concentric circles can be found illustrated in Bishop and Coulston (1993, pl. 59, no. 9), with others found in Nicolay (2007, pl. 39) nos 166.16, 256.1.

The brooch is robust, with both an elaborated head and bow. Traces of orange-brown corrosion product in the pin slot, at the end of the wings and at the catch-plate suggest that the missing pin was made of iron. The wings are broadly tubular, with a slightly squashed profile. The front the wings are decorated with blind-drilled holes, three either side of the bow, the outermost of which to each side have abraded through. Below the holes, traces of a moulded linear ropework border survive. Projecting from the top of the wings is an elaborate head-plate. Broadly semi-circular, the head-plate has projecting loops both at the base to each side - connecting the head-plate and the wings - and at the top: a trio formed of a central loop flanked to either side. Based on the retention of material in the central uppermost loop it may be that these projecting loops once retained decorative material. At the centre of the head-plate a semi-circular field is filled with seven enamel wedges alternating in red and blue, though the blue has largely degraded to a light green.
The bow emerges from the head turning through nearly 90 degrees, giving the bow a shallow downwards angle towards the foot which is raised by a deep catch-plate. At its junction with the head, the bow is broadly trumpet shaped with a double, moulded, curvilinear ropework border, echoing that on the wings. Once the bow returns through its initial curve from the head it expands to a circular element flanked on each side by a loop set laterally. As with some of these decorative loops at the head, both expansions have abraded through at their outer edges. At its centre this part of the bow is concave and was possibly once set with a separate component. Below this expanded element the bow expands again in the form of a flat, circular panel. The panel is decorated on the front by five concentric circular mouldings, the grooves between which contained enamel. The enamel now survives sporadically: perhaps a white flower at the centre with blue petals; the third (middle) register apparently contains alternating small squares in blue and red; the fourth register, alternating small squares in yellow and red. Below this panel, after a waist, the brooch flares above the foot to further lateral, looped protrusions, also abraded through at their outer edges. These expansions flank a circular foot largely set below them. This echoes the element at the upper bow and is, similarly, concave and was possibly once set with a separate component.
The reverse of the bow is largely flat, save for a low medial ridge. The sub-triangular catch-plate is deep and abraded at the curl.
Measurements: length 68 mm, max. width 48.5 mm, max. height 21 mm, weight 47.30 g
Work continues to provide parallels and appropriate classification for this important brooch. A bow brooch found at Nornour has some similarities: in the central roundel, with recesses for a stud above and below. No parallel for this brooch could be cited in its report (Butcher 2004, 24-25, no. 313). It has been published by Pearce and Worrell (2023, 421-423, fig. 23).T shaped212110020014DEV2011-01-01T00:00:00Z2011-12-31T00:00:00ZSCC receipt 0230772022-07-07T13:36:01Z2023-11-25T14:26:02Z47.321PAS62C6D331001A3948.56817411212141427231472284622569DevonSouth HamsSparkwellSX585450.36872027-3.99806583bands.shops.handy6DEV-81A97CCopper alloy10627EnamelCastInlaid with enamelIncompleteROMANx41218ROMANx41218x41218Metal detectorReturned to finderDEV6D331Abrooch.jpg1190739images/rwebley2/South WestCertain12023-11-25T14:26:07.21ZOxfordshire100CountyStruck or hammered8ROMAN1Certain3169070Metal detectorPAS4C05B7FaustinaIIsestertius.JPG83282015Centred on fieldCorrodedFaustina_the_Younger1801sestertius8522963120731RO5.1DistrictCertain426619PAS850430.4175Middle Astonx4121823.48romeCherwell10627Sestertius2016-02-08T11:55:39ZReturned to finderSouth EastCircaCertain
