Description: | Cast copper alloy fragment of a Colchester-derivative, T-shaped brooch, with the head and wings and the remains of where the pin hinge would have been on the back of the head. The complete wing has six moulded transverse lines along its length and the head has a raised rib with four raised transverse lines and a broken stud at the top. The tubular wings contained the spindle for the hinged pin, which is missing.
Hattatt (2000) illustrates a similar example on page 302, Fig.161, No.394, which is dated from the 1st to the 2nd century AD.
Quinnell (2004) illustrates a similar example excavated from Trethurgy on page 70, Fig.46, M2, which is dated from the second half of the 1st century AD. | Subjects: | T-shaped | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Tyacke, Anna - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
