A copper-alloy Romano-British pennanular brooch dating 50 to 410AD probably Fowler Type A2 |

| Description |
English: A copper-alloy Romano-British pennanular brooch dating 50 to 410AD probably Fowler Type A2 similar to Hattatt 1985, no. 649. The brooch is torque-shaped, with the ends capped with spheres. The brooch is cast and intact but the pin is missing, formed from a cast strip of copper-alloy which has been carefully folded for attachment to the frame. The terminals are spherical knobs with a single rib moulding behind them. The brooch is a fine example and is roughly 'U' shaped in plan with milled knopped terminals. The brooch is similar SF-FC17A6 and SF8630 and on the database. The length is 34mm, width is 30mm and the weight 5.69g. The term 'penannular' is used for brooches like this which have a gap in their hoop. Both men and women of rank wore pennanular brooches of this form: first the pin was stabbed through the folds of a cloak and then one end of the ring was pushed under the sharp end of the pin where it came out of the cloth. The ring was then turned until the pin tip lay securely locked in place beyond the raised bump of the decorated terminal.
