Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy Dorset-type T-shape brooch of early Roman date. The surviving part of the brooch measures 33.2mm by 23mm by 9.3mm and weighs 6.8g. One side of the plain cylindrical wings survive. They conceal the axis bar for the hinged pin, most of which is missing. The stub of a loop projects from the centre of the wings and below this is the bow, which has a rectangular cross-section and narrows slightly to the point where is has broken. On the front of the bow, below a change in angle there are two vertical lines in relief. There are several similar brooches in Hattatt's 'Visual Catalogue', including nos. 400 and 401 (2000, fig. 163, p. 304). The former is from Wimborne, Dorset and the latter from Worthy Down, Hants. | Subjects: | Dorset-Type 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 |
