Description: | A cast copper alloy T-shape brooch of early Roman date. The brooch measures 44.5mm by 37.2mm by 6mm and weighs 10.1g. The cylindrical wings conceal the axis bar for the hinged pin, most of which is missing. They are decorated with four lightly incised vertical lines at each end. The upper part of the forward-projecting bow has a hollowed back. It tapers gradually. Only the stub of the catchplate remains on the back. The front of the bow is decorated with three incised parallel vertical lines and the sides have four moulded indentations on each side. This form could therefore represent a development of the sawfish type. | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Payne, Naomi - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
