Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy T-shape brooch of early Roman date. The brooch measures 34.6mm by 28.2mm by 3.5mm and weighs 5.7g. The cylindrical wings contain the iron axis bar for the missing hinged pin. They are decorated with three parallel circumferential incised lines at each end, although one edge is damaged. The bow has a slightly D-shaped cross-section and projects horizontally outwards before bending downwards and narrowing towards the forward-projecting rounded foot, which conceals the semi-circular catchplate. The bow is decorated with three lozenge-shaped cells which are recessed to take enamel. Blue enamel has been preserved in the uppermost cell. A broadly similar brooch is illustrated in Hattatt's 'Visual Catalogue' (2000, p. 303, fig. 162, no. 908). This example is unprovenanced. | Subjects: | 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 |
