Description: | Roman copper alloy equal armed brooch? 26.3mm long, 21.4mm wide and 14.6mm thick. The brooch is in good condition with a brown patina and weighs 8.12 grams. It has circular sectioned wings which are decorated on each end with a single vertical inscised line. It contains a central recess which holds a hinged pin. The bow which is semi-circular in form, has a sub circular section and tapers slightly in width near its middle before widening again. It is decorated with a raised ridge, C 2mm wide, which contains rows of incised horizontal lines. This is interupted in the centre, with two deep horizontal incisons, C.2mm wide, separated by two narrow incised lines. The bow merges into a lower 'foot' which is the same width as the wings and has similar decoration. This however, is semi-circular in section and contains a short curved catchplate, 5mm high.
