Description: | Roman silver omega brooch. 36mm long, 34mm wide and 8mm thick. The brooch weighs 16.9 grams and has a good silver patina, but needs cleaning. The brooch is pennanular in form, turning back on itself to form terminals. At this point it is circular in section and has barrel shaped terminals, 6 mm long and 5 mm in diameter, with three raised grooves. The main body of the brooch has a diamond section. The diamond section is made up of four main raised ridges, with extra ridges in between these on the outer sides. The surface of the brooch is decorated with incised lines, forming a herring bone pattern. The brooch has a large pin (37 mm long and 4 mm in diameter), which tapers to a point. The pin is attached by being folded around the brooch. The pin has a cut away section to accommodate the material at the end of the loop, which is now coming away. The loop of the pin is decorated with a deep ridge.
