Description: | Roman copper alloy sawfish type T brooch, 38mm long and 31mm wide. The brooch is in fair condition with a greenish patina and some areas of corrosion. It has short wings with a semi-circular section, which would have held the missing spring. The front of each wing is decorated with a circular hollow that would have held enamel. The bow has a similar circular depression at its head and is decorated with a vertical line of raised diamond shapes which appear to have been flanked by small circles of enamel. This decoration is surrounded by an incised line and the sides of the brooch are decorated with protruding 'teeth'. The base is formed of a raised circle with a small circular depression which held enamel. The reverse has a small catchplate which has lost its curved edge. It matches Hattatt Fig.163 No 937.
