Description: | A cast copper alloy T-shape brooch of early Roman date. The brooch measures 64.1mm by 21.4mm by 3.9mm and weighs 5.2g. The plain cylindrical wings accommodate what is left of the axis bar for the missing hinged pin. Both ends of the wings taper slightly and both ends are slightly damaged. The upper bow has a deep notch for the pin. It has a flat rectangular cross-section and tapers gradually to a blunt point. The front of the bow is decorated with two faint longitudinal grooved lines. Towards the plain foot, the bow thickens (from front to back) as it gets narrower from side to side. Behind the foot there is a damaged triangular curving catchplate. This is perforated by a small round hole.
