Description: | Incomplete and bent copper alloy enamelled Roman T-shape brooch, with a broken loop, damaged wing and missing the shank of its pin. A few traces of enamel remain. It weighs 6.0g and is 44.05mm in incomplete and bent length (it would have originally been c.47mm long). The tubular wingspan is 17.24mm. The wings are decorated to the front, at the open end, with two transverse grooves. To the reverse, iron staining around the (surviving) head of the pin shows the axis bar is iron. The bow, which is triangular in cross-section, extends slightly forwards and downwards from the missing loop projection. It flattens at the centre of the bow, which is diamond-shaped and flanked by a diamond-shaped groove. Within this is a diamond shaped cell, split in two with a horizontal rib, and traces of enamel remaining in each resultant half. The lower bow is again triangular in cross-section and extends to the rear into the catchplate. At the very bottom is a tiny rounded foot, 2.06x1.38mm. 1st/ 2nd century in date. Cf Hattatt nos.918 and 919.
