Description: | Copper alloy wire penannular brooch. The terminals of the brooch are bent round to form simple loops set at right-angles to the main body of the brooch. The freely moving pin is flattend at one end and looped around the brooch, then it becomes circular sectioned and tapers to a point at the other end. The pin does not reach the far side of the brooch. The brooch appears to have been cleaned, while the pin is corroded with a light powdery green patina. 1st century BC-1st century AD. Diameter c. 33mm, thickness (across terminal loops) 7.4mm, thickness of wire c.2mm, length of pin 27.7mm, weight 3.50g. Similar brooches are shown in Hattatt's "Visual Catalogue", dated to the 1st century BC/AD (p340, fig 199, no.s 651, 650, 1282).
