Description: | A fragment of a cast copper alloy T-Shape brooch of Roman date. The surviving portion measures 19.3mm by 18.6mm by 3mm and weighs 3.3g. It consists of one side of the wings, the upper bow and part of a loop. The undecorated cylindrical wings would have concealed the axis bar for the missing hinged pin. The surviving section of the bow has a rectangular cross-section and the front is split into two longitudinal cells. These contain rectangles of enamel which alternate between orange and grey. A broadly similar and more complete brooch from Sixpenny Handley, Dorset, is illustrated in Hattatt's 'Visual Catalogue' (2000, p. 303, fig. 162, no. 913).
