Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy T-shape brooch of Roman date. The brooch measures 33.8mm by 38.4mm by 3.2mm and weighs 9.9g. The cylindrical wings contain the axis bar for the incomplete hinged pin. They are decorated with two parallel circumferential lines of knurling and an adjacent linear ridge at each end, although both ends are slightly damaged. The bow has a D-shaped cross-section. It narrows towards the missing foot. The front of the bow is decorated with a longitudinal knurled ridges on each side and another pair of knurled ridges which which converge part way down the bow. There is some damage to the edges. A broadly similar example is no. 907 in Hattatt's Visual Catalogue (2000, p. 302, fig. 161). This brooch is from East Anglia.
