Description: | A cast copper alloy two-piece brooch of early Roman date. The brooch is a hybrid T-shape with a Polden Hill-style pin attachment and a crest on the head. It measures 29mm in length and weighs 3.94g. The measurement across the hollow cylindrical wings is 20.7mm and their maximum diameter is 6.4mm. The spring and pin are almost entirely missing, apart from the corroded iron which is present in the perforation at each end of the wings. Only the stub of the chord remains and the perforation through which part of the spring would have been threaded is missing. The brooch is largely undecorated, apart from three horizontal grooves on the bow, immediately adjacent to the wings. There are traces of silvering or tinning in these grooves. The bow narrows but is broken approximately half way along its length. | Subjects: | T-Shape (Hybrid) | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Payne, Naomi - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
