Description: | A cast copper alloy T-shape brooch of early Roman date. The incomplete brooch measures 27.6mm in length by 25.9mm across the wings and weighs 6.6g. The rolled cylindrical wings conceal the iron axis bar for the missing hinged pin. Each side is decorated with four moulded vertical lines. In the centre of the wings is the stub of a loop. The bow has a D-shaped cross-section with a concave back and narrows slightly towards the point where it has broken. It is decorated with a small moulded projecting rectangle, centrally place about 9mm from the loop stud and a separately cast conical boss which is riveted to the bow below the rectangle. The boss is decorated with incised lines which radiate from the centre. | 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 |
