Description: | Fragment of Roman copper alloy brooch, probably a T-shaped variant, and consisting of the wings, iron axis bar and the top of the bow only.
The wings are peculiar in that they are solid. They span 31.9mm, 6.5mm of which on either end is part of a roundish knop decorated with swirly spirals. This is c.8mm in diameter.
Otherwise the wings are c.6mm in diameter, in section. Each is decorated with 2/3 vertical ribs, in the T-shaped 'style'.
The head extends from the top of the wings, with an inverted V-shaped groove for the pin. It has a central rib running down the centre 2.3mm wide. Either side are two mouldings, again comparable with T-shaped brooches.
The break is jagged but appears to show the bow as D-shaped in section, the underside being flat and relatively slim, 5.6mm wide.
The brooch is 13.7mm in incomplete length and weighs 10.25g.
Probably 1st century. | Subjects: | T-shaped variant | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Hinds, Katie - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
