Description: | A cast copper alloy T-shape brooch of early Roman date. The incomplete brooch measures 28.4mm by 21.6mm by 4.5mm and weighs 6.7g. The cylindrical wings contain the axis bar for the hinged pin, most of which is missing. Each end is decorated with three incised circumferential lines. The bow has a D-shaped cross-section and projects horizontally and curves downwards. The upper part is decorated with five slight vertical ridges. It narrows towards the small rounded forward-projecting foot, which conceals the curving catchplate. The bow is decorated with two opposed triangular cells which contain red enamel. Between the two cells the bow is slightly narrowed. There are two further linear ridges which start just below the enamelled section and meet just above the foot.
