Description: | Almost complete Roman copper alloy and enamelled T-shaped brooch with hinge mechanism, missing a third of the pin (pointed end) and a little of one wing. The ?iron axis bar is still in place at the wing-break. A pierced projection extends from the top of the bow, which itself extends from the top of the wings. The wings are closed and cylindrical with a span of 30mm. The surviving wing terminal is flanked by a deep groove and two shallower grooves a little further along. The bow ends in an acanthus decoration, from which extends the leg beneath two semi circular mouldings. The leg tapers to a tiny (3mm in width) double semicircular moulding behind which extends the catchplate, which has extended at an angle behind the foot to one side from the moulding below the acanthus. The reverse of the bow and acanthus is hollow. Above the acanthus are two semicircular mouldings below an enamelled panel with two and a half lozenges and a V-shape now empty of enamel in a red enamel surround. Length 68mm. 1st-2nd century.
