Description: | Roman copper-alloy T-shaped brooch of mid 1st to mid 2nd century AD date (see R. Hattatt, 1987, pp. 100-120, fig. 37-40 for similar examples).
The brooch has been cast in one piece and is solid in appearance. The wings are tubular and very short and the spring and pin are missing. The bow has a D-shaped cross section and extends in width towards the bottom, before tapering towards the foot. There are moulded ridges running down the bow. Between the ridges are three inverted triangular cells. Only a small section of the catchplate has survived. The surface may have been silvered or tinned.
The object measures 40.1mm long and 17.2mm wide, and 13.3mm deep. No weight recorded. | Subjects: | T-shaped | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Laakso, Laura | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
