It is a knee fibula variant.  Sometimes called the Volute Bow Knee Fibula.

See 2/3 of thew way down the wikipage:  https://www.forumancientcoins.com/numiswiki/view.asp?key=knee%20fibula


Typology: Böhme 21d/g; Bojovic XXII var. 11 (parallel catch) and var. 17 (transverse catch); Genceva 16e

Dates: Dating is uncertain. Possibly as early as c. AD 175-225, but possibly not beginning until the 3rd century AD and possibly lasting into the early 4th century.

Distribution: Danubian origin, Upper and Lower Moesia. Bojovic divides them depending on whether the catch (which is always high and narrow) is parallel to the bow (XXII var. 11) or transverse (XXII var. 17). He also has a variant with a horizontal hole through the foot as well as the usual one through the head (XXII var. 16).

 Hi Kevin and Shawn :)

 I agree with Shawn, I also have some similar fibulae, and I attributed the same as Shawn, of course because I have also the book of Bojovich,
Not in Hattatt as you mentioned..

 Any way very nice example...

 Best regards
