Description: | Roman brooch; fragment of small, cast copper alloy T-shaped brooch of 1st or 2nd century date. The brooch has narrow, cylindrical wings and a bow with moulded decoration. Only the very top of the bow is present and it is quite worn so the decoration cannot be closely distinguished but it seems to have a central ridge running down the bow with symmetrical patterns to either side. There is a possible indication of some enamelling. The pin is missing but would have been hinged.Length 13.9mm, width 21.4mm, thickness 4.8mm, weight 3.08gRef: Compare the brooches illustrated in Hattatt, page 302 (figure 161), especially brooch 395 which seems to have similar decoration.
