Description: | A copper alloy Roman brooch, T-shape but with a Colchester derivative mechanism. The bow tapers to a narrow foot with the remains of a triangular catchplate. The upper part of the bow has two incised vertical grooves above a band of two horizontal grooves. The lug to accommodate the spring appears to be formed from a single strip. The wings are open on the reverse, with enclosed semi-circular terminals and two incised lines on the terminals. A spring remains in situ with six or seven turns on each side. The pin is missing. | Subjects: | T-shape (probably) | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Ghey, Eleanor - British Museum | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
