Description: | An incomplete copper alloy T-shape brooch of early Roman date. The brooch measures 42.6mm by 23.1mm by 3mm and weighs 5.5g. The cylindrical wings contain the axis bar for the hinged pin, most of which is missing. The curving bow has a D-shaped cross-section. It narrows towards the plain foot, which conceals what survives of the catchplate. The front of the bow is decorated with a number of moulded linears. There are two parallel and diagonal lines on each side of the upper bow and four vertical lines immediately below this. This section, which cover just under half the bow, is flanked by a transverse linear and there is no further decoration below this. There are patchy traces of tinning on the front of the bow.
