Description: | Almost complete copper alloy Roman T-shape brooch with traces of tinning/ silvering. The very foot of the bow and the lowest point of the catchplate are missing due to recent-ish damage. The brooch is somewhat bent.
The tubular wingspan is 21mm. A groove flanks each open end, to the front only.
The bow is 8.8mm wide where it extends from the wings. It narrows consistently to the foot over c.43mm (bearing in mind the bow is bent). Just before the mid-point, the bow is waisted with a horizontal double groove. Above this, to the wings, are three vertical deeper grooves, where the tinning/ silvering residue resides. The lower bow is plain.
The catchplate extends from the reverse of the bow and where it survives, the curl is complete. The pin is intact.
The reverse of brooch has the same tinning/ silvering treatment.
Length 44.6mm. Weighs 7.34g.
