Description: | Incomplete copper alloy T-shaped brooch. The brooch has cylindrical wings in cross-section containing an axis bar for a hinged pin. The wing faces are each decorated with an incised diagonal line. The bow is slender, D-shaped in cross-section and only arched at the top; the main shank is relatively straight. There is a moulded crest at the top in the centre of the bow, whereas the main bow is decorated with a series of transverse triple ribs. The ribs comprise a central rope-line rib with a collar above and below. There is a small catchplate on the reverse. The brooch surface is smooth and has a slight silver-blue appearance, suggesting that the alloy is slightly leaded, or perhaps the surface was once silvered or tinned.
