Description: | An incomplete cast copper alloy T-shape brooch of early Roman date. The brooch measures 36.4mm in length by 24mm in width by 3.7mm (maximum thickness of the bow) and weighs 4.32g. The cylindrical wings conceal the axis bar for the missing hinged pin. They themselves are undecorated but there is a moulded ridge between the wings and bow on each side as it projects forward. There is a further short ridge in the centre of the bow between this moulding. The bow narrows graudally towards the forward-projecting foot, which is slightly distorted. Behind it is what remains of the catchplate. There is further moulded decoration at the centre point of the bow. This consists of three short vertical ridges. Any further decoration has become too worn to clearly discern.
