Description: | A cast copper alloy T-shape brooch of early Roman date. The brooch measures 32mm by 26.2mm by 3.5mm and weighs 8.3g. The undecorated cylindrical wings conceal the axis bar for the missing hinged pin. On top of the bow there is the stub of a missing loop. The bow projects forwards and changes angle after c. 8mm. This section of the bow has a slightly convex front, a concave back and parallel sides. The front is decorated with a grid of raised lozenges. On the other side of this section is a stylised acanthus knop. The bow has broken just below this point. The brooch is similar to no. 387 in Hattatt's 'Visual Catalogue' (2000, p. 303, fig. 162). This example is unprovenanced.
