Description: | T-shaped brooch with tubular wings, hinged pin and flat tapering bow. The bow narrows through a marked step mid-way along its length. The bow is embellished with a central rib flanked on either side by a narrow groove set adjacent to the edge of the bow which extend only as far as the step. The ends of both wings are decorated by a incised groove which extends only around the front half of the cylindrical wing. Most of the pin, the catchplate and the lower part of the bow are missing. Surviving length 36mm, width of wings 30mm. As a type the T-shaped brooch is a rather general grouping which encompasses nearly forty sub-types, several of which are demonstrably localised in their distribution. Examples of this hinged sub-type with a stepped bow are not uncommon finds from South Wales. T-shaped brooches remained in vogue from the mid first century AD to the second century AD and occur most commonly in southern Britain | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
