Description: | Roman copper alloy knee brooch, 28mm long, 20mm wide and 9mm thick. The object is in fair condition with a brown patina and weighs 6.14grams. The brooch is L shaped in form and rectangular in section. When viewed from the front it appears to be a narrow strip with a slghtly flared foot. When viewed from the side it consists of a rectangular shaped foot, which is twice as long as the body of the brooch and sits under a flat rectangular bow. At its top the bow widens to form a large sub-circular protrusion (or knee) and then it turns at a right angle. There is a small rectangular shaft which terminates in a small amount of semi-circular sectioned wing, which is covered in patches of iron staining.
