Description: | Roman enamelled copper alloy T-shape sawfish brooch. The hinged pin is broken. The iron pin bar is held within the undecorated wings which are rounded on the reverse and flattened on the obverse. There is a prominent narrow raised ridge running centrally down the upper third of the bow - there would have had a loop at its upper end but this is now broken off. The lower half/two thirds of the bow is decorated with champleve enamel - there are five lozenge shaped cells filled with traces of yellow or white enamel running centrally down the bow, flanked on either side by five triangular cells. The triangular cells have few traces of enamel and what is present is very degraded, but it may also be yellow or white. The foot is a rounded knop with two narrow grooves, and is flattened on the base. The catchplate is damaged. Length 31.80mm, width of wings 20.54mm, width of top of bow 8.82mm, thickness 13.26mm, weight 8.11g.
