Description: | A fragment from a copper-alloy Roman brooch (probably a T-shape variant) of 1st or 2nd century AD date (R. Hattatt, 2000, p. 302).The wings are cylindrical, measure 27.7mm wide and, apart from a transverse slit at the top, would have completely enclosed the spring. There is a central slot for the now-missing pin and iron staining from the axis bar, which is also missing. Only the upper part of the bow survives. It is roughly semi-circular in section and has a decorative incised border around the outer edge on the upper surface.The object measures 15.3mm high by 6mm thick and weighs 4.94g.
