Description: | Cast copper alloy T-shaped brooch, length 30mm, width 25mm, thickness 3mm, weight 5.71g. The wings are hollow tubes which hold that spring support bar, at the back of the wings in the centre there is a slot for the pin, only the top of which remains. A small loop with a narrow base projects from the top of the head. The head and wings are plain, the waist is slightly expanded and there are two triangular recesses with opposing bases that hold enamel, the top recess holds read enamel and the lower holds blue. The sides narrow after this point to the leg, however the leg is broken shortly after the waist, this is an old break. As a result, the catch plate is missing The overall condition is poor, most of the surface has been badly effected by corrosion resulting in a patchy light green colour with mid green patches. This artefact dates to the second century AD.
