The object still preserves strong traces of red enamel, giving the brooch a striking visual identity even after centuries in the ground.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nFound in Buckland, Hertfordshire, this artefact is a small but powerful fragment of Roman Britain — an object once worn, lost, buried, and finally recovered by a modern detectorist.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nTHE DESIGN\u003cbr\u003e\nThis design uses the “Detectorist’s Find” format — simple, minimal, and field-oriented.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe brooch is presented large and isolated, with bold typography, a barcode-style graphic, the ARTEFACT mark, and the vertical line:\u003cbr\u003e\n“EVERY FIND COUNTS”\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe layout treats the object as a direct field discovery rather than a decorative museum exhibit. It is clean, focused, and built around the detectorist’s relationship with the find.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nPrinted text on the design:\u003cbr\u003e\n“DETECTORIST’S FIND”\u003cbr\u003e\n“EVERY FIND COUNTS”\u003cbr\u003e\n“ROMAN BOW-AND-FANTAIL BROOCH”\u003cbr\u003e\n“ROMAN BRITAIN, BETWEEN AD 50 AND AD 150”\u003cbr\u003e\n“FOUND IN BUCKLAND, HERTFORDSHIRE, ENGLAND”\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nARTEFACT DETAILS\u003cbr\u003e\nArtefact: Roman bow-and-fantail brooch\u003cbr\u003e\nObject type: Brooch\u003cbr\u003e\nClass: Bow and fantail\u003cbr\u003e\nMaterial: Copper-alloy\u003cbr\u003e\nSecondary material: Enamel\u003cbr\u003e\nDate: AD 50–150\u003cbr\u003e\nPeriod: Roman Britain\u003cbr\u003e\nLocation: Buckland, Hertfordshire, England\u003cbr\u003e\nMethod of discovery: Metal detector\u003cbr\u003e\nPAS Unique ID: BH-97F4D9\u003cbr\u003e\nRecord ID: 711637\u003cbr\u003e\nCollection: Detectorist’s Find\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nCOLOUR NOTE\u003cbr\u003e\nThis listing is for LIGHT garment colours only:\u003cbr\u003e\nWHITE, DESERT DUST, HEATHER GREY.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe artwork is optimised for best contrast on light garments.\u003cbr\u003e\nLooking for dark colours?
