Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy brooch of Roman date. The surviving part of the plate-headed T-shape brooch measures 24.5mm by 18.2mm by 7.1mm and weighs 2.8g. It consists of the head, part of the hinge for the missing pin and a short section of the bow. The head is broadly D-shaped with a small rounded knop at both corners, one of which has broken off, and a further slightly larger knop in the centre of the curving side. The head is decorated with seven incised ring and dots which are equally spaced around the curving edge, including one on each knop. There are also two incised parallel lines which run vertically down the centre of the head. The top of the bow is decorated with three moulded transverse lines, below which it has broken. The remains of tinning or silvering can be seen on the front of the brooch. There are traces of iron around the remains of the hinge indicating that the pin was probably made from iron. | Subjects: | Plate-Headed 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 |
