Description: | An incomplete copper-alloy Colchester-derivative or T-shaped brooch of the early Roman period. It is now missing its hinged pin and most of its catchplate. The head has a large vertical central rib which is interrupted on its upper bow by an empty oval shaped cell which is likely to have been filled with enamel. The rib then continues down the length of the bow, decreasing in prominence and terminating at the foot. The bow is D-shaped in section and tapers towards the foot, which has been damaged. The brooch head is triangular in plan, formed by the transition of the bow to the arms. Enamel appears to have been present on the front face of each arm with some remaining on the left one and an empty circular cell present upon the right. This brooch dates to the late 1st to the late 2nd century. | Subjects: | Colchester-derivative | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Creator: | Collins, Robert - Portable Antiquities Scheme | Identifier: | http://www.findsdatabase.org.uk/hms/pas_... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
