Description: | A fragment of a cast copper alloy T-Shape brooch of Roman date. The suviving fragment measures 21.82mm and consists of the wings, the upper bow and part of the headstud. The cylindrical wings measure 22.2mm in length and 4.7mm in diameter. They conceal the iron axis bar for the (missing) hinged pin. The wings are undecorated apart from two parallel vertical lines close to each end. The surviving section of the bow has a rectangular cross section and the front is split into two longitudinal cells which contain squares of enamel which alternate with blank squares in a chequerboard pattern. A similar and more complete brooch from Sixpenny Handley, Dorset, can be seen in Hattatt's 'Visual Catalogue' (2000, p. 303, fig. 162, no. 913). | Subjects: | T-Shape | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Payne, Naomi - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
