Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy T-shape brooch of Roman date. The surviving part of the brooch measures 35.2mm by 16mm by 9.1mm and weighs 9.1g. The cylindrical wings would have held the axis bar for a hinged pin, most of which is missing. Both ends of the wings are decorated with a pair of circumferential incised line. The bow has a crescent-shaped cross-section (convex front and concave back). The upper part is decorated with four vertical ridges, two in the centre, which meet part way down the bow, and one along each edge. The bow narrows slightly towards the foot, but most has broken off. A similar and more complete example from East Anglia features in Hattatt's 'Visual Catalogue' (2000, p. 302, fig. 161, no. 907). | 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 |
