Description: | The brooch has been cast from a copper alloy. The surface is slightly pitted and corroded, but has traces of a grey patina.
The wings are semi-cylindrical with incomplete wing caps remaining. The wing caps each have an incomplete hole which would have supported the axis bar. The length of the wings is 22.7mm.
The bow head is slightly angular in shape, from which the bow protrudes at a perpendicular angle to the wings. The bow head is decorated with a vertical ridge which tapers in depth as it reaches the start of the bow. The length of the brooch is 13.3mm.
The bow is missing completely. The break of the bow is not recent. Also missing is the axis bar, spring and pin.
The brooch is possibly a T-shape brooch because of the angle of the bow to the wings, the pronounced ridge at the bow head which may have formed a loop. This brooch is Roman and probably dates to the 1st to 2nd century. | Subjects: | T Shaped Type (Probably) | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
